Rare 1986 Peugeot 205 T16 E1 Group B Rally Car Heads to Auction
Silverstone Auctions’ first-ever live online sale on May 23 to feature extremely rare Group B vehicle
Silverstone Auctions will host its first live online auction on May 23. The team will be offering additional content on each of the lots being offered, including video and other imagery to show the cars in more detail and aid buyers with their decision.
Also, for this event only, the premiums paid for both the buyers and sellers have been reduced to 10 percent. Depending on Government guidance in the coming weeks, it may become possible to offer one-to-one viewing at a central location, says Silverstone Auctions, which will continue to monitor the situation and will make a decision nearer to the auction.
The catalog is now open and Silverstone Auctions is accepting consignments, with the first high-profile lot being the 1986 Peugeot 205 T16 E1 Group B rally car. This is an extremely rare lot as it is the sister car to the actual factory owned T16. This car has proven pedigree and well-known history, making it a very exciting opportunity to purchase a Group B machine and one that very rarely comes to market.
“We have some fabulous lots already consigned and the Peugeot 205 T16 is a stunning offering,” says Harry Whale, Silverstone Auctions Sales Manager.”We look forward to giving it a new home.â€
