Review
Australian Classic Cars, April 2008 Review by Patrick Quinn Australian magazine Circulation: unknown Last month, we read up on the Austin-Healey 3000 in this series of Rally Giants and now it's the turn of the Peugeot 205 T16. While the Rally 3000 evolved from the road going version, the Peugeot was designed as a rally winner from the start. By the mid-1980s, such configurations as 4WD and mid engine were de rigueur. In the Peugeot, the turbocharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder was mounted sideways behind the passenger - LHD car - drove across to a transaxle that in turn drove the driveshaft fore and aft.
In this publication, erudite Graham Robson makes it quite clear that he is a fan of the Peugeot, and after 3 outright wins in Peugeots in 1984, 7 in 1985 and then 6 the following year it hardly seems surprising. Robson tells the story of the development of the 205 T16, its rally history and also of those who were involved behind the wheel and navigating. What I found informative were the descriptions of the drive train through narrative and diagrams and the lengths Peugeot engineers went to ensure that servicing was as straightforward as possible during the course of a rally. Worth a look for rallying and Peugeot enthusiasts.

Review of Peugeot 205 T16 book
10 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am very pleased with this book and this format of books. Robson has written others, including one on the Lancia Stratos, which I also have. This isn't for the casual reader but the person who really enjoys rallying and reading about the great cars in this motor sport. This has just the right amount of text, ample photos that complement the text and is not so voluminous as to be a drag to read. Incidentally, I also use these books as reference books to build models of these same cars.
