Peugeot’s history is much broader than the famous 205 GTI. This guide brings together unusual road cars, forgotten family models, lightweight Rallyes, four-wheel-drive sports saloons, competition-inspired builds and military oddities—plus the detailed buying and ownership information needed to understand them.
