B-E-A-UTIFUL!
Mate I've fallen in love.. you better clean 'er pipes before I arrive and get the lube ready :evil: :cheesy:
Okay.. maybe not. How many owners has she had? Surely not more than 1 other. When did you buy her?

i bought it 2 and half years ago from a guy (about 45) who owned it for 10 years.

i'm the 3rd owner. he was the 2nd and the 1st was rhodes peugeot in wigan were i live so its been in my area all its life,

it still has original rubber mats in it from new (a bit worn now gonna replace them soon)
also had the original rhodes peugeot tax disc holder in before i took it out :roll:

i paid £650 for it . and have replaced a lot of stuff in it. ie interior , wheels. when i bought it , it was just a box standard 406 with grey cloth seats and wheel trims :mrgreen:

i do really want a D9 HDi 110 but i just cant bring myself to sell my D8. so will be keeping this 1 for as long as possible.

The surrounds actually quite smart - if it's legal, and at the right price, and isn't a bugger to fit, I might be interested...

Hmm, actually Gary, I've got a pair of light-up sun visors for a 406 that I never got round to fitting to my saloon. The Coupe has them as standard. They're out of Blue406's scrapyard; a little grubby, but I'm sure they'd work fine. I've no idea how to test them. If you're interested, I'd happily do you a swap?
