205 T15 or 405 T15

Have a friend who has the funds for either of the above which should he go for (mind made up he wants one or other) the other issue is do motor sport versions ie pikes peak etc hold value or gain as much value as road cars? From my experience (limited) race cars are pretty limited to max value as their market place is pretty small whereas the road cars have much more potential demand or am I over killing it?


I cannot call it either way but looming forward to when he lands one and have a shotgun ride. .

I don't know how much the 405s are worth but the 205s are £100K nowadays.

Can't see the albeit rarer 405s approaching this figure

Are we really talking about S16s in fact altogether a cheaper prospect ?

Yep the T16 not S16's.
I've only ever seen a Group B 205 which was epic I can only imagine what a motor sport 405 T16 would be like (online pics looks better IMHO over the 205 that said the 205 does look mighty too).


Performance was 200bhp for the 205 and 4wd in a 800-900kg car!!! The 1.9GTi had what 120bhp and as we all know was super fast so one can only imagine how quick the T16 was/is

The past couple of 205s I've seen have been nowhere near £100k.

Between £30-50k. They were both pretty immaculate looking road cars. Think both were LHD.

Me too. One was on carandclassic but seems to have disappeared.

This is my understanding of what he thinks /is willing to spend however £100k no chance.
