Here is the Other Group B cars thread dedicated to the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16... If you have anything you'd like to share about this group B car stories, pics, vids or anything else feel free to post it here. :)

These are some pictures I took at the Owners Club meet which took place two years ago in France:

I have to admit, that top pic looks really nice!
The 205 T16 is my second favorite group B car......

Thanks for the comment Mike... They are great cars indeed and in my opinion their street version was greately undervalued in the past considering it was the last Group B to win the championship. But seemingly prices have picked up again lately.

That one you pointed out in pic 1 has the PTS 300 bhp kit which should make it quite interesting.

It would have a fair run against my 200 which has about 420bhp on a good day!

I heard they used to be quite a bargain. Unfortunately most people dont know the difference between a 205 Dimma and the genuine 205 T16.

Actually I have been thinking we should organise some sort of photoshoot with some Group B cars sometime... Distance does not make things easy but I can probably get a hold of a 205 T 16 (the one pictured with the lightpod) and surely also a Delta S4. Trouble is they are here in mainland europe.

We have Gary's Metro and I'm sure there could be volunteers here with a 200 or 2. Maybe we should meet at one of the many trackdays at Spa or the Nordschleife even.

That'd certainly be quite some photo opportunity for the Group B enthusiast,Klaus!! :shock:

I'd love to line my Metro up alongside a selection of other Group B supercars,and am hoping to do so on a smaller scale at the Bakewell Show on May 2nd/3rd. I'm hoping Suzi has managed to arrange for a 200 to be there,and I understand that we might have a quattro,too. Fingers crossed!!! :)

The Chatsworth Rally Show and Cholmondley Pageant of Power should also present the opportunity to get a few 1980s monsters together for a reunion.

It's certainly a great idea Klaus,and I'd be proud to represent ARG Motorsport if at all possible! :)

All the best,

Gary.

PS. I'm just on my way to coax the Metro into life after it's winter slumber and have received the offer of a wonderful photoshoot opportunity tomorrow at one of my favourite (and thankfully,closest) motorsport venues.
If all goes to plan,and despite the horrid weather,I'll try to post some piccies when they are available.

I was at another meet with the 205 Turbo 16 boys two weeks ago... This time it took place in the Vosges region in France... I had great fun following these guys up some fantastic mountain roads and seeing these sweet motors being driven like they were meant to.

Four 205 Turbo 16's turned up and there was also a Talbot Samba Group B (I had no idea there was also a Samba with Gr. B homologation), and me of course in my Focus RS.

I have been lucky enough to have been invited to the 4th annual meet of the 205 Turbo 16 Owners Club. This is taking place on 17-19th of June in the beautiful Ardèche region in France. There will be 5/6 205T16's attending and also one rare Citroën BX 4TC... I will be going with my Escort Cosworth to join the fun... If any 200 owners wish to join let me know (long shot but who knows...) :-)

How about having a chat with "Enda Garvey".... he has one of the most impressive GrB collections, maybe even the best in the world.
I believe he is based in the UK.
