  • It's time for the big reveal, as Petrolblog adds another Peugeot 406 Coupe to the fleet. Is it too good to scrap? Petrolblog and Kenny Smith think so.

    I appear courtesy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. (As does the C70) And there is no need to apologise.
    You did say "Wools" surname correctly, and the gearknob did that to me as well..
    It is not really "broken" it is just "awaiting recommission" - a gem of a car, and a credit to the previous owner, who was an absolute Gentlemen throughout.
    I look forward to seeing more of this -
    "Back to you Gavin" 😁

      You're right, which is why I decided to change the title, but I didn't get there quick enough! I really appreciate everything you did in February and hope that I can give the car the treatment it deserves. At least I've got a decent tool for removing the oil filter...

      @@Petrolblog MMR is just fab! I get to drive a lot of brand new cars for my job now and it is just brilliant getting into her at the end of the day for some properly comfy seats and simple motoring. No lane warning, no speed warnings, no beeps to annoy you. A much better period of motoring. MMR is my comfort zone.

    Great to see another coupe addition to the channel, I saw that on the 406 Facebook page too. Least it might save the other car or you could fix it up? I think it fix, paint apart what else does it need? great to see Ariane blue I am a bit biased as I have 3 that colour! I remember you saying about the man with 7 coupes feature maybe we can do a 9 car shoot?!

    • @Petrolblog

    This is gold, one of the earliest cars to have the 210bhp engine, with the black perfurated seats launched in 1997 and discontinued in 2000 or 2001, most of the UK cars have the alarm button and the sensors, never seen in non UK cars, only on the Facelift they start putt the alarm feature. Big Smiles when i see one of these.
    Enjoy. Have fun

      Thank you for this. I assumed it must be some sort of 'crossover' model when I discovered the later engine and earlier interior. Confirms what I believed: it's too good to scrap!

    To buy one 406 Coupe might be considered unfortunate, to buy a second one is just carelessness. 😉
