The parts guy at the Buffalo, NY Peugeot dealership has one. He said
he was quite successful with it. The only complaint he had was that
he raced it without the support of Peugeot! All parts (and the car)
were his own. Also, given that the car was not factory supported and
parts were only available in "stock" form, the car did quite well in
what is essentially stock version. I saw it parked out back. It had
a roll cage and was a 5 sp turbo 505. Excellent graphics on the
paint job! Interior was totally stock.
