The Background
The Peugeot 106 1.6 GTi was introduced in 1996 and was seen as the spiritual successor to the hugely popular and highly regarded 1980s 205 GTI, which was sadly discontinued in 1994.
Small, light, with a rev happy engine and quick, sharp steering the little hot hatch was well regarded amongst its peers of the time.
In January 1996, the Peugeot 106 also formed the basis for the near identical looks and size Citroën Saxo, with both cars being built on the same platform and both cars competing in various forms of motorsport.
The 106 was later very popular with the Max Power modified generation as it was small, quick and lots of companies produced lots of accessories and body kits for them.
The History
This particular Peugeot 106 was purchased new in 1998 by Lady Felicity Davis. During her ownership the car was used almost entirely by her alone, and driven very sparingly given that she lived in central London.
As time went on, Lady Felicity decided it was time to stop driving and the car spent a number of years parked in her garage.
The car was eventually sold and picked up by the current owner who’s been in possession of the vehicle since 2017. Despite Lady Felicity owning it from new and not driving it very much since 1998, she had kept up with its servicing schedule regardless of miles and the car was always kept in secure dry storage. The current owner has also stuck to this and kept the vehicle in immaculate condition which is commensurate with its incredibly low mileage.
This really is one of if not the cleanest low mileage 106 GTi in the country and deserves to be in a collection.
The Paperwork
The car comes with the V5 Logbook and all of the servicing and paperwork to back up that incredibly low mileage. The car has been owned by two keepers and driven an incredibly small amount but serviced and maintained regardless.
The Interior
The interior of this car is factory fresh. It has a few minor bobbles on the material in the driver’s seat and that is it. It has a recent very expensive detail by a professional detailer and truly is in time warp condition.
The Exterior
The exterior, like the interior, is in factory fresh condition. The only blemish we could find was on one of the wheels there is a tiny kerb rash. However, the set of wheels you see in the picture is one of two sets the owner has for the vehicle and that will be supplied with it, and one of two style options that were commonly used on the 106 GTi.
The Mechanics
In terms of mechanics the car starts, stops and drives well with the 1.6 16v rev-happy engine having lost none of the horsepower it had from the factory.
The car has been maintained regardless of cost and even though in mileage terms it is no where near requiring a cambelt the current owner has had this work carried out anyway, recently, for peace of mind.
The single only criticism is the engine bay slam panel has some spots on it , but that really is us being picky on what is an incredibly clean original vehicle.
The Appeal
Unlike most small hot hatches of this era, this particular 106 GTi has survived the clutches of the Max Power boy racer generation and is in time warp condition.
This low mileage , low owner example is a very rare thing indeed, and you can be confident that due to its history and the type of owners it has had, it hasn’t seen the wrong side of a hedge like most. We cannot stress how clean this car is.
When it was launched it was cheap, well specced, had enough performance to make you smile and if you were after a small hot hatch of this type, it would definitely have been a consideration.
Today, a lovely example like this is something to treasure and as some may say should really be in a collection. It would be a shame for such a lovely clean example to get damaged after all the love and car that has gone into keeping it the way it should be.
Whoever buys this one, is getting a gem.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
