Upgraded Peugeot 205 revealed at Autosport
Lee Carlin’s third evolution of a Peugeot 205 Hot Rod broke cover at Autosport International.
The rear-wheel-drive version of the French hatchback was first created by Sonny Howard Preparations and were the dominant force in National Hot Rods when the original version came on stream.
The new version on display at the NEC is the next generation of the car, which has also been built by SHP. Power comes from a two-litre Anderson Racing Engines motor, and A1 Performance has fitted the retro bodyshell and running gear. More versions of the car are in build. Plans for the car are currently unclear. Carlin’s regular Vauxhall Tigra was also on display.
Lee Rudge’s National Hot Rod was on display. The Vauxhall Tigra is an ex-ken Marriott car, Rudge is a leading Lightning Rod driver but took the chance to switch categories.
