Here's your chance to own a very rare, very cool 2,000-mile Peugeot 205 T16
Here's your chance to own a very rare, very cool 2,000-mile Peugeot 205 T16 Buy some wheel arches, get a mid-engined Pug for free! Skip 17 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 17 Hot hatches: they're fun, fast, and... practically extinct. So if you've got a fair bit of cash to burn and a craving for the good old days, here's a mint Peugeot 205 T16 up for grabs over at Bonhams. Built to compete in the wild era of Group B, the racing T16 dominated the series in the mid-Eighties and snatched the WRC title in '85 and '86, winning 16 rallies all in. For that to happen, Peugeot of course needed to build 200 road-going homologation cars. This is one of them.

That kinda explains the guide price of between $250k to $350k (£190k to £260k). Yikes indeed. So, apart from a bit of history, what are you getting for your money? For starters, a peppy turbocharged, mid-mounted four-pot which sends 197bhp/188lb ft to all four wheels via a five speed manual 'box. You also get arches and scoops for days, and a superb set of wheels. The previous keeper is said to have spent over $200k on restorative work, including a new clutch, coolant lines, radiator and suspension. With this in mind, the guide price doesn't seem... too bad? Maybe? Images: Bonhams Advertisement - Page continues below Top Gear Newsletter Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.

Protesters gather, chant ‘Turun Anwar' as rally kicks off in downtown KL
KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — Protesters have started to gather in the heart of Kuala Lumpur for the 'Perhimpunan Turun Anwar' rally. At the Sogo supermarket, people began to gather as early as 10am and had swelled to a few hundred people by 11.45am. They were seen predominantly clad in black, carrying Palestinian flags, and chanting 'Turun Anwar' and 'Turun Hari Ini'.

At Masjid Jamek, similar scenes were observed, although the group there was not as large as at Sogo. The protesters were being led by an emcee who coordinated the chants. They could be heard calling for Anwar's resignation. Some participants also brought up the Sabah scandal, calling for the resignation of Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. Other areas in Kuala Lumpur also saw groups gathering to march to Dataran Merdeka at 2pm. No untoward incidents have been reported so far. The plan was for the procession to reach Dataran Merdeka, followed by speeches from PAS leaders such as Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang and former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is also expected to deliver a speech at 5pm.

Outside the Masjid Jamek LRT station, police could be seen directing rallygoers to stand by the side and to watch where they were walking so as not to be hit by vehicles. Chants of 'Hidup, Hidup! Hidup Rakyat!' and 'Turun, Turun! Turun Anwar!' were continuously heard. Individuals helping to coordinate the rally were also heard asking participants where they were from. Chants of 'Kedah', 'Johor', and 'Melaka' echoed in response. The rallygoers are expected to march to Dataran Merdeka at 1pm.

The Next Leg Up Has Just Begun: Why I'm Expecting A 20% Gain Over The Next 6 Months
Stocks have been on a tear. The S&P and Nasdaq have both made new all-time highs, yet again, last a difference a couple of months can sank earlier in the year on tariff concerns, before bottoming in early then, the major indexes have all surged by double-digits from their 4/7 lows, with the Dow up by 21.5%, the S&P up by 30.2%, and the Nasdaq up by 41.3%.The market went from panic to fear-of-missing-out. And rightly in spite of the eye-popping gains over the last couple of months, the major indexes are only up single-digits for the year, so the outlook is for much, much for those who missed the recent rally, or wished they would have taken better advantage of it, the good news is the next leg up could be even more that's exactly what I'm expecting.I Told You So I don't want to say I told you I kind of the pullback in March (the S&P was down -5.75%), and then hitting the skids in early April, I was writing articles on what the probability was that we could actually see the market finish higher in one of the things I pointed to was an amazing short, it showed that since 1945, in every instance when the S&P was down by -3% or more in March, it was then higher in happened 7 times at that point. And each and every time it was higher in average gain in April was 5.92%.That would be a heck of a move given the S&P was down as much as -13.8% at its worst in we didn't quite get into the plus column by April's end, it sure came close, ending the month with only a -0.91% loss. For those who bought early, you were essentially back to even. For those who bought near the lows, you likely saw big that March/April stat no longer has a 100% success rate, 7 out of 8 times is still a pretty amazing there's at April thru the end of the year, it was higher in 6 out of those 7 years, with an average gain of 20.3%.A move I'm sure no one would want to a move I'm expecting to see this time around Repeats Itself That 20% gain fits perfectly with this next year saw the S&P 500 soar by 23.3%.That was the second year in a row of 20%+ gains. (2023 was up 24.2%.)That's a feat rarely seen in the fact, it was the first time it was up 20% or more for two years in a row since 1995-1996. (Prior to that, you'd have to go all the way back to 1954-55.)In 1995 the S&P was up 34.1%. That was the beginning on the dot-com (technology) 1996 it was up 20.3%.So, what happened in 1997? It was up another 31.0%.(BTW, 1997 was one of those 7 years I mentioned earlier. In March of '97, the S&P was down -4.26%. But in April it gained 5.84%. And from April to year's end, it gained 28.17%.)1998? Up another 26.7%.And in 1999, it was up 19.5%.A spectacular rally that lasted 5 long, glorious the dot-com bubble arrived in 2000. But not before people got rich over the preceding 5 years with a 220% increase in the S&P, while plenty of individual stocks were up several hundred percent to several thousand I believe we could possibly see the same thing again now. Maybe 5 years or more of boom times – for similar reasons, and some unique to the present Booms: Past And Present (AI Tech Boom Is Alive And Well) The tech boom back then saw everybody go nuts for technology stocks, driven by the internet and dot-com was new and exciting. And the internet was forecast to change the way people shopped, did business, and interacted with each promise was real, as we now what's the parallel?In part, it's another tech this modern technology boom is being driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI).And it's forecast to be just as transformative as the personal computer, the internet and the mobile phone. And it's expected to touch virtually every industry in some way shape or form, as well as impact ordinary AI trade has worked so well for a reason -- because the AI boom is real, and is supported by real earnings, and real growth there are plenty of other catalysts that make the market outlook even more . . .------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Saturday Deadline: Claim your Free Copy of One single idea changed Kevin Matras' life as an investor, allowing him to tap into the greatest force driving stock prices.

With only four more FOMC meetings left in the year (July 29-30, September, October and December), that means two of those four should see a the odds favor September's meeting for the rate-cutting cycle to resume, Mr. Powell, just the other week, said they could very well begin in way, the market is a forward-looking mechanism. And if interest rate cuts are coming, the market does not seem to be wasting any time in acting on when interest rates do begin to fall again, you can be sure plenty of money tied up in money markets will find their way back into equities, further supporting stock Earnings Outlook Is For GrowthLet's also not forget that earnings drive stock while everyone was fretting over tariffs, the earnings picture never wavered and continues to point to growth.Q1'25 earnings season, for example, showed S&P earnings up 12.1%.Q2 is forecast at 8.7%.Q3 is forecast at 4.1%.Q4 is forecast at 5.5%.And Q1'26 is forecast at 8.2%.While tariff fears and even recession fears shook the market previously, none of that is showing up in the aggregate earnings again, earnings are the key driver of stock What Works So, how do you fully take advantage of the market right now?By implementing tried and true methods that work to find the best example, did you know that stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buy have beaten the market in 29 of the last 37 years (a 78% win ratio) with an average annual return of more than 24% per year? That's more than 2 x the S&P, including 4 bear markets and 4 recessions. And consistently beating the market year after year can add up to a lot more than just two times the also killed in 1995 with a 52.6% gain; 1996 with 40.9%; 1997 with 43.9%; 1998 with 19.5%; and 1999 with 45.9%. It was also up in 2000 by 14.3% while the S&P was you also know that stocks in the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries outperform those in the bottom 50% by a factor of 2 to 1?
