PEUGEOT 405 Mi16 4x4

- FUTURE CLASSIC

The story behind the insane-looking, 316bhp Peugeot 405 ‘Grand Raid’ is rather interestin­g, as you would expect given its £53,376 estimate. Built to take part in the hardcore Australian Safari rally in 1993, it counts carbonfibr­e doors, a 300-litre fuel tank, forged pistons and a Torsen differenti­al among its upgrades. It never actually took part in the rally itself, which is probably why it remains in such a usable condition today.

But considerin­g that a same-aged Group B rally car would set you back more than twice as much, this is a relatively affordable slice of motorsport history.
