Faker 2490 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Here we go again.... yet another project to add to the ever increasing number of vehicles to be resurrected sometime in the distant future. Series 1 Peugeot 106 Rallye that was driven by David Higgins on the 1994 British rally championship. Peugeot Sport Coventry (UK) commissioned one GROUP A 106 to contest the 1994 British Championship. Registration number L405URW. The car was technically exported to the Isle of Man - where it was registered with the MAN106A registration number, for the purposes of competing in the Manx rally (nice PR work - especially with the driver being an Isle of Man resident). A106MAN registration number was only a promotional photo Once sold by Peugeot Sport it was returned to L405URW and the MAN106A registration number was returned to Higgins. It's been in a few wars and has suffered many a hit. But it will live again at some stage down the line.

MKT 284 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 That's class, was wondering just the other day where some of the Higgins brothers early cars had gone after seeing Mark had bought J153 LLK! Didn't think this was still around, do you know when its last event was? Faker 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hit again and lay up, changed owners, unfinished project blah blah blah. Mine now and going nowhere. warninglight, MKT, tooSavvy and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, soaring for decent road cars. Track and rally are a different story though. History makes it interesting though Dick Longbridge 1 Link to post Share on other sites
