Sorry to drag this thread up, but I found a video earlier which shows 3 of these at the Peugeot museum! So they must have produced at least 4 of them. (with the Pikes Peak version above)

Doesn't really look abandoned with all the modern cars in there as well, they're all pretty well kept.

Amazing to see though, much like the Ford warehouse stash posted a few weeks back, things like this are so cool.

Great spot, I love looking at vidoes like this.

Don't forget that the attractive 405T16 succeeded the ungainly LWB 205T16, which won the Paris-Dakar in 1987 & 1988, so I guess the 405T16 was really a LWB 205T16 in drag. Some TV footage.

The yellow one pitcure above was on display at Autosport show earlier this year & at the Coventry Motorsport UK show a couple of weekends ago. I think its for sale.

I was at Coventry and didn't see it? Where was it?

Will be at Autosport International though.

Hey, i'm not sure if you are all still interested in this but we recently did some work on the car with Geoff Page Racing: http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk/media/blog/turbo-dy...

I remember reading back in the day that they kept extending the wheelbase of the 205 for stability reasons and used the 405 bodywork as the 205 was starting to look a bit stretched. Could be wrong though

There was a Citroen ZX version aswell which followed on from the same theme after Peugeot withdrew.

I think there is one of the ZX in the Prince's Monaco car collection / museum
