    This is the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 EVO2 #1 1986 Rally Monte Carlo Timo Slonen/Seppo Harjanne in 1:12 scale by Top Marques.At the 1986 Rallye Monte Carlo, Timo Salonen and co-driver Seppo Harjanne piloted the No.1 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 E2, one of the most extreme machines of the legendary Group B era. Salonen, the reigning World Rally Champion, was known for his calm demeanor and clinical driving style, perfectly suited to the unpredictable conditions of Monte Carlo. What set the 205 T16 E2 apart from other rally cars was its mid-engine layout combined with advanced four-wheel drive and turbocharging, delivering explosive power and exceptional traction on mixed surfaces of snow, ice, and tarmac. With aggressive aerodynamics and lightweight construction, it represented the peak of Group B innovation—making it one of the most dominant and feared rally cars ever built.Top Marques produces high-end 1:18 and 1:12 scale model cars that are generally regarded as premium collector pieces. Most of their models are resin replicas, which allows for very sharp body lines, accurate proportions, and high-quality paint finishes that closely replicate the real vehicles. Their larger 1:12 scale models especially showcase extensive detailing, sometimes including removable parts and carefully reproduced engines, while many of their 1:18 models are sealed display pieces designed primarily for visual accuracy rather than opening features. Produced in limited editions, Top Marques models are often sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship, rarity, and focus on historically significant racing and exotic cars.
