Hot hatches: they’re fun, fast, and... practically extinct. So if you’ve got a fair bit of cash to burn and a craving for the good old days, here’s a mint Peugeot 205 T16 up for grabs over at Bonhams.

Built to compete in the wild era of Group B, the racing T16 dominated the series in the mid-Eighties and snatched the WRC title in ‘85 and ‘86, winning 16 rallies all in. For that to happen, Peugeot of course needed to build 200 road-going homologation cars. This is one of them.

And it's got to be one of the cleanest examples left alive, showing just 3,216km (1,998 miles) on its odometer and not a smidge of decay in its cabin. That kinda explains the guide price of between $250k to $350k (£190k to £260k). Yikes indeed.

So, apart from a bit of history, what are you getting for your money? For starters, a peppy turbocharged, mid-mounted four-pot which sends 197bhp/188lb ft to all four wheels via a five speed manual ‘box. You also get arches and scoops for days, and a superb set of wheels.

The previous keeper is said to have spent over $200k on restorative work, including a new clutch, coolant lines, radiator and suspension. With this in mind, the guide price doesn’t seem... too bad? Maybe?
