1995 Peugeot 106 Rallye S1 VF31CMFZ250943685 w/ ~143k mi (~231k km).

Classic Lightweight Hot Hatch

Up for offer is a 1995 Peugeot 106 Rallye S1, a pure and highly original example of one of the most sought-after small European hot-hatches ever made. Offered by SODO MOTO out of Seattle, WA, this car represents a true enthusiast machine with classic character and light-weight performance — the kind of car that helped define the supermini sports car category in the 1990s. 

What Makes This One Special

• This is the S1 (Phase I) variant — the earliest and rarest Rallye specification, complete with the distinctive 1.3-liter TU2J2 engine and short-ratio 5-speed gearbox.  
• Built as a homologation-style hot hatch, the Rallye S1 was engineered with minimal frills and maximum driving engagement.  
• With ~143,700 miles (~231,000 km) on the clock, it remains in excellent original condition with zero rust and solid paint.  

Drive & Character

The Rallye wasn’t built to be comfy — it was built to be fun to drive. Thanks to its lightweight design, aggressive cammed 1.3 L engine, and focused gearing, this 106 lives up to its reputation as one of the most entertaining small sports cars of its era. 

True to the Rallye ethos, the car omits unnecessary luxury equipment — a hallmark of the model that contributes to its light weight and raw driving feel. 

Condition & History

This particular car has been carefully inspected in Japan by the seller, and it appears to be a parallel import first registered in Japan in 1999 before being offered for U.S. shipment. 

Despite higher mileage for a classic car, the body, paint, and interior are reported to be sound and well-preserved — making this an excellent candidate for someone who wants a fun, usable classic instead of a trailer queen.
