Default Hello from old school peugeot

Hello,

Well 5 years ago my Vectra broke down and I had to find a replacement car ASAP.

I had a limited budget and on the way to work I spotted for sale a Peugeot 406 SRI petrol turbo 2000cc.

The price was £1300.00 and I thought for thirteen hundred pound it would make a good go-between-car.

5 years later and the car is still going strong and its the best car I have ever had.

I work for a leading insurance broker insuring Japanese Performance cars and my humble Peugeot has been to many japanese performance events and never fails to raise a smile

The below photo is the peugeot proudly parked between Skylines

Anyway I am pleased to join the club.

Dan

He has had a few photoshoots in the Jap magazines and its his pride and joy.

He also owns the Purple Nissan Skyline next to it.

Thank you..

Had a look around recently on Autotrader and ebay and there are not many of them around.

Just passed the MOT and had a full service so should be on the road for a few years to come
