The auction site Pistonheads.com reports that it is offering Marcus Grönholm’s Peugeot 206 rally car, used in the World Rally Championship in the early 2000s.
The car is red with Marlboro brand coloring.
The auction site details that the car features a two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
Grönholm secured two world championships with the Peugeot team in the early 2000s. The Finnish driver celebrated championships in the years 2000 and 2002.
The Peugeot now up for auction served as Grönholm’s vehicle, among others, during the 2003 New Zealand rally, which ended in victory for the Finn.

In 2004, Peugeot introduced the 307 rally car, and afterward, the Peugeot 206 car was sold to private collectors.
The auction site does not specify a starting price for the car. It can be determined by contacting the seller.
Marcus Grönholm had a long career in the World Rally Championship. “Bosse” still holds the record for the most wins by a Finnish driver in the WRC, having topped the podium a total of 30 times.
