Peugeot 106

The Peugeot 106 was a supermini produced from 1991 to 2003, serving as the brand's entry-level model. It shared its platform with the Citroën Saxo and was a massive commercial success for Peugeot, known for its fun driving dynamics, economical engines, and stylish design. The range received a significant facelift in 1996, creating distinct Phase 1 and Phase 2 models.

Collectors focus almost exclusively on the sporting versions. The Rallye, offered in both 1.3L and 1.6L forms, is a homologation special with a stripped-out, lightweight ethos that appeals to purists. The top-tier model, the 106 GTi (S16 in some markets), featured a 1.6L 16-valve engine producing around 120 hp. These models are celebrated for their sharp handling and represent the peak of the analog hot hatch era.

The market for the 106 is driven by these performance variants. While standard models have little collector value, prices for clean, original Rallye and GTi examples have been climbing steadily. With an average sale price around $9,200, they represent an accessible entry point to 90s French performance cars, though finding unmodified cars is becoming increasingly difficult.

Prices range from $3,587 for project cars to $15,566 for top-spec performance variants.
