  The rise of British built cars 1 Jun 2016 (News)
  That's followed somewhat surprisingly by the Peugeot 206, produced at the same Ryton plant that previously built the Peugeot 309 and 405. But what stands out among the cars registered in our roads is the popularity of the Japanese brands. The Nissan Micra leads the way.

  Historic Rally Cars at Cholmondeley Pageant 17 Jun 2011 (News)
  Winning the WRC in 1982 and 1984, in its ultimate guise the Audi Quattro produced a massive 650bhp. Another famous machine attending the Pageant will be the Peugeot 205 T16 EVO. This model dominated the latter years of Group B, when power and speed was key, winning in 1985 and 1986. 200 T16 road cars were produced with a similar turbo-charged mid-engine, four-wheel-drive setup as the rally cars, but with far less power.

  Porsche named best manufacturer when it comes to passing the MoT 18 Feb 2019 (News)
  Not only is Renault's overall pass rate of just 52.6 per cent way below par, it lags behind even defunct brands such as Rover (54.2 per cent), Saab (59.5 per cent) and Chevrolet (60.2 per cent).  Renault wasn't alone with fellow French brands Peugeot and Citroen also featuring near the bottom of the table. SsangYong is another manufacturer that disappoints. Despite coming top in the  Honest John Satisfaction Index 2018 , it has a lowly MoT pass rate of 59.6 per cent from just 7500 vehicles tested.

  Senna’s GP-winning McClaren F1 car for sale at auction 7 Feb 2018 (News)
  For Senna, who won six Monaco GPs it total, 1993 was his last season with McLaren. The team had ended its successful engine supply partnership with Honda and was due to use Peugeot engines in 1994. To tide them over, a last-minute deal had been struck with Cosworth to run their V8 HB powerplants. Senna was concerned that the V8 was no match for the Renault V10, which powered arch rival Alain Prost’s Williams.

  Possibly World's Best Mk IV Jaguar in Historics 4th March Auction 21 Jan 2017 (News)
  Finally, for a bit of fun, back in the day Peugeot 205GTI owners used to speculate what kind of car the 160HP twin cam MI-16 engine would turn a 205GTI into. There was a factory 309GTI MI-16 (with blue inserts in the bumpers). This 205GTI MI-16 is a conversion, appearing outwardly to be a stock 205GTI 1.9.

  Britain's last 'BL' dealership to close 6 Feb 2014 (News)
  The signage harks back to when Derek J Ketteringham Motors was an Austin Rover dealer and makes a great backdrop for the cars, which include a pair of 1989 Rover 800s, a 1995 Rover 100, Fiat Regata, Vauxhall Cavalier Mk3 2.5 V6, Peugeot 205 CTi, Audi 90 and Vauxhall Carlton Estate. Even the newer, more humdrum MG Rovers can spring the odd surprise – one S-registered 216Si had 16,000 miles on the clock and still smelled new inside.
