[@unicorn7337]

I got excited when he said it was a 106 Rallye, I got even more excited when you pointed out the Clio Trophy and additional rally car 106, and my jaw hit the floor at 6:00 when the Clio 200RS was discovered! There are such fun little cars, all of them. I miss my Clio 197 every single day and totally intend on buying a 200 when the right one comes along.

[@mgcarmkm4520]

I remember reading years ago Sebastian Loeb said that the 106 Rallye was the best car to start as a novice. Great handling, revvy engine, lightweight. A driver with ability will stand out from the rest.

[@CarFocused]

What a lovely little collection. The French certainly knew how to make Hot hatches back in the day that’s for sure 👌🏻

[@steveb936]

They sure did, how times have changed, look at the crap they make today

[@andrewdavid6054]

@@steveb936 True, but that seems as much a reflection on the car buying public as it is the car manufacturing industry. People only seem to want sports coupe SUV crossovers, like the Arkana. The only thing that resembles a true lightweight French hot hatch these days is the Alpine A110, and that's already confirmed as the last petrol car they'll make, with Renaultsport already long gone 😢

All of these barn finds teach us… do not ignore your cars. Use them, and hence they’ll be healthier!

[@glenm2113]

Bought my son a lovely immaculate light metallic blue 106 as his first car. Within the first 2 hours of being let loose he binned it . Recovered it, needed bonnet, front wing, door and rear hatch door (rear wing was ok, for some reason). Saw one in a scrap yard 80 miles away the same colour, shoved all the bits in my bmw touring and fitted them next day. Cars were simpler back then.

[@Bercilakdehautdesert-yt1gd]

Did the same with my youngest lads 206 1.4 16v, lovely little cars. I bought one for his older brother and 8 years later it sits on the drive, next to hi E39 540i - loves driving both.

[@mushter17]

I had a light blue 1.1 facelifted 106 as my first car. I changed a gearbox with my dad and my mate in an afternoon, I changed a wishbone in it at 17 in an afternoon, and we did a couple of other things to it that were so easy to do I've forgotten about it. I kept it for a while and then dug it back out to use at uni, but sadly the head gasket failed shortly after. Sad day, sending that to scrap, I liked that car and if I had the space and the money I'd have kept it and rebuilt it

[@rekleif]

Don't apologize dear Jonny. We appreciate your continued commitment to getting these old barn finds 20% closer to a roadworthy condition. Anyway it's great entertainment my friend.. God bless and lots of love from Norway.

[@johnblacksmith9505]

[@groovydutchman7257]

I got exactly the same spec as my first car to! I’ve also kept it stored in a barn for many years, and I’ve recently started driving it again. I don’t think I will ever sell it.

[@1969alw]

Another nostalgia boost - thanks Jonny - you should do an update on your barn finds to see what's happened to them. I think it would make for some interesting content.

[@rbmedia771]

The late, great Richard Burns once said that the 106 Rallye was one of the best handling cars he ever drove. He wasn’t wrong.

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

Burns was such a talent. He will always be missed.

[@rbmedia771]

[@andyreact]

That was the 106 GTi i believe, was a Clarkson VHS, it was Clarkson, Burns and a Peugeot touring car driver trying to find the best handling car in the world, and they all agreed the 106 was the best but couldn't admit it against the Ferraris etc on test 😂

For those of us raised on hot hatches, the 106 Rallye and Clio Trophy are high points a few years apart. I've not driven either, but I did have a rental 106 (late model 1.1 I think) and owned two Clios (91 1.1 RN, 98 1.2 RT, steady yourselves!) and they were, even in cooking/warming form, so much better than than the competition. I watched this film in awe as they were revealed (I'll gloss over the Clio 200* as the Fiesta ST was better) but otherwise... Thank you @jonnycarpervert and team for another great film

The 182 Trophy and 106 Rallye were awesome. Imo the Clio 200 was right up there too, incredible chassis.

[@HandyC]

That black 106 brings back some proper memories.. Hearing it was relatively local to me (Gloucestershire) I was half thinking when you took the cover off it, it was going to be my actual car but alas it wasn't. Mine was N702MDD Bought brand new at Warners in Tewksbury when I was 20 ish.. My first ever new car. £9K... I really reallymiss that thing and always wondered what happened to it.

The homologation plaque seems to list the national type approval numbers (which is why I suppose they used the letter “n”) for road cars, these were still used in the beginning of 1990s until european type approval scheme took over. And to be super pedantic, the first one on the list is actually Germany, RFA = République Fédérale d’Allemagne, with ABE-number (Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis) F888. I’ll get me anorak now.

As a performance french car enthusiast, I really enjoyed this Jonny. Had to watch it when you mentioned it on your podcast! Would love you to revisit, and see ALL the cars properly because I don't feel these cars get enough love. French cars often (wrongly) overlooked for VAG hatches or BMW'S etc! Big love from this SSG in the IOM CMTMB Adam

[@richardjones38]

Quick tip if you have a car which has been standing, and has seized injectors. With the pump running, briefly kink the return line to block it. This will increase the pressure at the injectors a lot. I recently worked for me on a VW T3 2.1 Wasserboxer engine where all the injectors were stuck. Also, on engines which have a fuel feed and return, identify which is which by looking for the one which connects to the regulator. It's the return. The feed goes directly to the injectors. first, and then to the regulator.

[@mikebull1972]

A great impromptu video Jonny, worth it to see the lovely motors and the strike up clearly wasn't far away. One to revisit maybe, and get them all going!

[@3wheelie]

I had a red 1996 106 1.6 D. It came from Denmark to Sweden and was a driving school car in the earlier life. 52 hp with a towing hitch isn’t much to pull a caravan with, but that exactly what I was doing, from 0-80 km/h took an eternity.😂

[@kennethpotter3738]

Wow! What a throwback to my absolute favourite car I ever had, mine was M786 FGB in the lovely Bianco White. Sadly when I bought it in 98 the original Michelin steels were long gone and had been replaced by TSW evo’s which I ended up replacing with Antera Valbrem 941’s. I wish I could have that car back. Like the one in the video I fitted driving lamps which they didn’t come with. I think I may still even have the blanking grilles I removed. I’ve never driven a car like it. It was absolutely on rails!

[@fishtigua]

Dad had a new 205 GT for 14 years. Best car we ever had.

[@mccash264]

Wow! That takes me back, when I was a much younger person I almost bought one from Hadley Peugeot, unfortunately I couldn’t complete, due to a change of circumstances. The Clio Trophy (fabulous car!) has a number plate on it from one of my local Renault dealerships. Good times, when life was less complicated. Great content Jonny. Thank you .

Brings back tremendous memories of my black Rallye (N613UJB) in the mid-90's. My bestie in his Saxo VTS too chasing each other around the Berkshire lanes. Lift-off oversteer and cocking a back wheel on tight roundabouts. I need one again.

[@astraracer]

I'd have loved to have had a 405 Mi16, but they'd mostly all ended up being used for 205 transplants by the time I was in the position to buy one. My better half had a Saxo VTS for a couple of years which scratched the 106 itch, and I've had a black 306 Rallye for nearly 20 years now. I have a French addiction and a Vauxhall addiction, so the Clio never got a look in, which I regret now.

My mate had a 106 Rallye in Red back in the late 90s. Luckily he let me drive it a few times. Boy what a chassis. It wasnt that fast but it was just so much fun and handled with gusto.

This brings back memories, used to walk through the carpark at winchester train station going to and from school in the early 90s and we'd always spot the latest regs. Would be some awesome cars parked there, first time i saw an Impreza being the core memory but seeing M reg cars atill sticks in my mind too. Failry certain there was a black one of these with those white wheels ans red belts.

Unfortunately he agreed my low offer would be accepted if another 106 he was expecting arrived at the garage but unfortunately it never appeared. When i checked back to make a better offer it was gone. I ended up with a more expensive xsi 106, which was great but not as much raw fun.

I've often wondered if cleaning the dry barn finds is the best idea. They've sat covered and dry for years, then get jet washed pushing moisture into everything, then probably get covered again. Dunno

[@gdfggggg]

It will just dry off 💁

[@ibud1300]

Yeah definitely not. You shouldn't introduce a lot of moisture to cars that are not being driven after and will go straight back into its place of storage for prob years to come. Brake components might get stuck, you might have interior seal leaks after a long time of sitting so you'll get water into the interior and then you have a car with a wet carpet or boot area sitting in storage and create rust and mold. This is the one thing I don't like about the Barn Find episodes. It's not being done for the car's sake but for views and happy sponsors.

Really interesting that Gordon says they are cheap cars 'not even worth £20k'. The lowest mileage Clio Trophy has double the miles and is 19k and a S1 Rallye for 15k with over 130k miles. Great video with some awesome French hot hatches

[@fredio54]

Jonny, you must never leave the coil or any one lead open while cranking with ignition on. It will cause voltage to rise way higher than designed and the result of that is frequently internal coil winding insulation break down and coil failure. Always place the lead end near but not touching a ground. That leaves the coil working normally and prevents damage.

[@lnby]

I had a 182 Trophy and granted it was great other than the boat sized steering wheel, it did 174,000 miles.

Also the 2 double webber 40 carbs. 106 rallye is almost the same block but with efi instead of carbs. I have a 205 rally car with the 1.6 tu5 jp4 16v block of the saxo vts, but with the 205 rallye 8v head and carbs doing about 160hp to the wheels.
