When night rallies gave way to single-venue events through the mid-1990s, the team moved into a left-hand drive Peugeot 205 Rallye 1.3. Cheeky, light, raw — exactly the right car for the events of the day.
It did the rounds at Swinderby, Mamby Showground and Tywford, and bridged the gap between the Mk II Escort era and the championship years that followed in the Peugeot 106.
A proper hot hatch with the wheel on the wrong side, and a lot of fun on the right kind of stage.
