About the Peugeot 205 T16 Peugeot Talbot Sport T. Salonen / S. Harjanne Safari Rally 1985 Otto 1:18
TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Peugeot 205 T16 reproduces Timo Salonen and Seppo Harjanne's Peugeot Talbot Sport entry at the 1985 Safari Rally. Sealed resin construction handles the Group B car's flared arches and rally lighting precisely. A defining subject for any Group B legends collection.
The 205 T16 stands among the most successful Group B cars ever built, and Timo Salonen drove it to the 1985 World Rally Championship drivers' title, making this specific Safari Rally livery a documented part of that championship-winning season.
Sealed Resin for a Homologation Icon's Flared Body
Group B homologation rules produced some of rallying's most dramatically flared bodywork, and the 205 T16's wide box arches and rear-mounted intake scoops demand crisp, confident tooling to look right at 1:18. Otto's sealed resin construction holds those flares with sharp edges, and the Safari Rally's demanding conditions meant these cars carried extensive auxiliary lighting and underbody protection, all reproduced here with genuine attention to period accuracy. The Peugeot Talbot Sport livery, applied with clean color separation, matches the specific graphics package this car wore during that event.
A Championship-Winning Season, Documented
Group B's brief, dramatic era before its 1986 ban produced some of the most collected rally cars in the hobby, and Salonen's title-winning 205 T16 sits at the top of that hierarchy. Paired with other Group B legends on a themed shelf, this Safari Rally car documents a specific, verifiable chapter of a genuinely historic championship season.
