Reference photos needed for Peugeot 206 Papadimitriou Portugal 2001

I've heard that this is the only photo in existence of this car, since it was destroyed in a fire:



Anyone have any more?

Thanks!

Ah, I remember when he contested my local rally "Rally Hadeland" in 2000 or 2001, most likely the last year. I didn't take any pictures, but I remember he was entertaining to watch.

I can confirm that he participated in Rally Hadeland 2001. I think he did it because he was doing the Swedish Rally later that winter. In Hadeland he was off the road many times. I think he retired, but I´m not sure. Papadimitriou was the first driver with a Bozian-Peugeot 206 WRC! Chassisnumber 19, works registrationplate 206 NAM 75.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, N.O.T! Those are the first pictures I've seen of the car actually taken in Portugal. I'm building a Tamiya model of this car and I needed to have a reference for the type of scoops and antenna on the roof. Those pics are very helpful. I was surprised to see that there were mud flaps on the car. Are those generally used in a rally like Portugal? Or maybe that is a pre-race photo? Also, I don't see a gps unit behind the front antenna.

I've only just recently become interested in rally racing and I'm finding that it is difficult tracking the sport here in the US. If it wasn't for the internet, you wouldn't even know that it existed. I'm currently trying to find some reference for the mechanics of the cars themselves. I'd like to find a reference that shows the components of a car.

I understand that the 2001 Portugal rally had many problems, including safety issues. I hope they have sorted those out for the rally there this year.

Again, thank you very much. I'm finding that this board is very helpful.

You are welcome...i am happy i could help

Mudflaps are compulsory on every car on gravel rallies....2 years back Peter solberg got a 40 seconds penalty at the acropolis rally after leaving service without mudflaps.

The GPS unit is housed under the little black hood on the roof of the car next to the cockpit air intake ( i am not 100% sure about this but i think thats were the GPS used to be back in the day)
