1996 PEUGEOT 106 RALLYE

KEY FACTS

• This 106 Rallye is a highly original example of Peugeot’s iconic lightweight hot hatch.

• Under the bonnet is a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated inline-four, producing up to 103bhp, and driving the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.

• This left-hand-drive Phase 2 model is unmodified and is reported to be in impressive condition for its age.

• Designed as a homologation model for Group A and Group N rallying, the Rallye was lighter thanks to its pared-back specification, omitting electric windows, power steering and even replacing the alloys with white steel wheels.

• Originally registered overseas, this car has since been shipped to the UK where it has gone through the NOVA import process and is now an import taxes-paid vehicle. The next owner will be responsible for registering the car with the DVLA.

 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The car is finished in Indigo Blue over a black cloth interior featuring the ‘Rallye’ tricolour motifs across the seat inserts and door cards.

• It rides on its original white 14-inch Michelin steel wheels, shod with Continental tyres.

• The original factory specification is supplemented by the fitment of a Pioneer stereo, connected to the original door speakers, parcel shelf-mounted rear speakers, and front tweeters.

• The car is accompanied by a number of service history and maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.

• The paintwork is in very good condition overall, with a couple of minor blemishes commensurate with the age and mileage. These include a few stone chips to the front end, some overspray around the fuel cap, slight delamination to the rear badge, and some scratching on the rear wiper arm.

• The wheels are in good order, save for some minor scuffs to the outer rims in a few places.

• The original black cloth interior presents very well, with some scuffing to the boot area. The seats have some bolster wear in line with the mileage.

• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults, and no warning lights on the dashboard.

• The most recent MOT test was on 11 May 2021, when the car registered a clean first-time pass.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car was most recently serviced at 95,300 miles, when the engine oil and oil filter were replaced.

• There are additional service invoices that accompany the car.
