Here's your chance to own a very rare, very cool 2,000-mile Peugeot 205 T16
Here's your chance to own a very rare, very cool 2,000-mile Peugeot 205 T16 Buy some wheel arches, get a mid-engined Pug for free! Skip 17 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 17 Hot hatches: they're fun, fast, and... practically extinct. So if you've got a fair bit of cash to burn and a craving for the good old days, here's a mint Peugeot 205 T16 up for grabs over at Bonhams. Built to compete in the wild era of Group B, the racing T16 dominated the series in the mid-Eighties and snatched the WRC title in '85 and '86, winning 16 rallies all in. For that to happen, Peugeot of course needed to build 200 road-going homologation cars. This is one of them.

That kinda explains the guide price of between $250k to $350k (£190k to £260k). Yikes indeed. So, apart from a bit of history, what are you getting for your money? For starters, a peppy turbocharged, mid-mounted four-pot which sends 197bhp/188lb ft to all four wheels via a five speed manual 'box. You also get arches and scoops for days, and a superb set of wheels. The previous keeper is said to have spent over $200k on restorative work, including a new clutch, coolant lines, radiator and suspension. With this in mind, the guide price doesn't seem... too bad?

Ten-woman Brazil survive Colombia challenge in Copa goalless draw
QUITO: Colombia failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage in Friday's final Group B match at the Women's Copa America, as the reigning champions Brazil held them to a goalless draw despite being a player down. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport Brazil's goalkeeper Lorena was shown a red card in the 21st minute after handling the ball outside the penalty area in a bid to stop Linda Caicedo's shot during a rapid Colombian counterattack. After consulting with assistant referee Mariana Aquino, referee Milagros Arruela dismissed Lorena, forcing Brazil to rely on substitute goalkeeper Claudia for the rest of the match. Despite enjoying a numerical advantage, Colombia were unable to break the deadlock, with attempts from Valerin Loboa and Mayra Ramirez failing to find the back of the net. 'Today was a very tough game, very exhausting, and we wanted to win, but now we have to keep working hard for what's coming,' Loboa said after the match. Brazil stood firm in defense, and in the second half they tried to take the lead with attempts from Yasmim, Gabi Portilho and Dudinha, but they were all unsuccessful. They came closest with a free kick from Yasmim in added time that hit the crossbar. 'We knew it would be a very difficult game, but we're very proud of this result with one player less. Now it's time to rest and think about the semifinal,' Portilho said. Both teams were already through to the semifinals, and Group B leaders Brazil will face Uruguay on Tuesday. Meanwhile, runners-up Colombia, with eight points, will take on Group A leaders Argentina on Monday.
