1999 Peugeot 306 Rallye 16V

Highlights

  • One owner from new
  • 1998c XU10 J4 inline-4 engine Light-weight hot-hatch
  • 1 of only 500 Rallye models 
  • Passive rear steering
  • Owner has addressed current MOT advisories & has undergone a cambelt change this week

The Appeal

 
Highly regarded as one of the best hot hatchbacks of its era, the 306 Rallye is a raw, stripped-down 90s icon that utilised its GTi-6 relative’s running gear and provides a raw, engaging driving experience. 
Lightweight, refined and performance-focused, the Rallye removes any distraction, any unrequired item that won't benefit its pursuit of speed. With commodities such as air conditioning and electric windows removed, cloth seats instead of Alcantara plus the removal of some sound-deadening, the Rallye comes in 65 kg lighter than the GTi-6, making it quicker, more agile and able to reach a higher top-speed with the same engine benchmarks. 
With Peugeot dominating the 90s with their hot hatches, the Rallye is considered one of the best and with only 500 examples produced, this one owner from new car is an opportunity not to be missed. Reported to be in highly original and untouched condition, this 1999 registered Rallye still boasts its original good looks and untouched interior, it has been comprehensively cared for over the last 24 years by the owner using the same garage up until recently for all its mechanical work. 
Presented in good condition with only the smallest signs of wear, this hot hatch is an unfamiliar sight on today's roads, with less than 90 examples reported to have survived, making this an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Summary 

Peugeot were unquestionably the hot-hatch icons of the 90s, producing quick, fun and affordable cars that outperformed the competition and looked pretty cool too. The 306 Rallye is arguably one of the best thanks to its spritely, engaging driving dynamics and limited production numbers. This example has kept its originality and has been comprehensively cared for over the last 24 years by its only owner, making it a very tempting opportunity for any keen collector.
