Agree with thinking that 16v is pretty unloved these days. Hopefully the 3x nice examples for sale recently at strong money will wake up the market. I was lucky enough to bag a tatty but rot free 449 blue phase1 in 2014 and have started to recomission it with the aim of getting it MOT'd and usable.
Even in it's current state it's a riot to drive and makes me smile...a lot!
I fear my rust is rampaging to the point of terminality but I wish I had the cash to get it up and running again - it was an insane drive on a good road!
I'll have to get some pics up to get some diagnoses on whether it's destined for car heaven

Its nice to dig up an old thread 😊
So what's everyone's thoughts on the 16v and Williams variants? I'm looking for a cheap(ish) "project" of either of these. I get it that the 16v was the poor relation at the time, but has the mood changed and have they now became the more sought after car (apart from the Williams 1's)?
I think the only honest answer to that question is a firm no.
But I know that if I was looking for a 205gti, I'd only be looking for a 1.6 and not a 1.9.
