Peugeot 405 Mi16 LHD Phase 1

Exciting news. In progress, a joint purchase between @loserone, @sdkrc and I of a German import Mi16…

Updates will follow!

[Jimbob McGregor]

@worldofceri lined up for Monday morning. Thanks Ceri!

[loserone]

Oh, he must be excited, he's telling people about it!

 

What about a tale on that white dTurbo you bought 😂

[timolloyd]

Oof. I love these. Good luck and looking forward to updates!

[Jimbob McGregor]

It’s a lovely colour not available in UK market Mi16s as far as I’m aware.

Not much happened with the white 205 DT @loseroneyet. As well you know….

[Jimbob McGregor]

And yes, I am excited!

[loserone]

You've dragged it home, we've not got the 405 yet!

[loserone]

Its home!

I am not

 

Many, many thanks @worldofceri.  Don't suppose you fancy a quick trip to La Crau?  😂

@loserone.....

This 'boot wing' was on my radar, for ToMM©

Too spendy 🥺

Mi Mi .... Looking lovely 👌

Lovely, that's Ming Blue which was available in the UK.  Probably the best colour for them mind.

It's the same color as my two Audis then!🤔

What's the story behind this one?

[vaughant]

Looks great!!!!

Distress sale for someone who had to give up their storage due to rising household costs. The car was originally sold new in Germany in 1991, spent at least ten years there then latterly seems to have been in Serbia until import in 2020.

It’s an interesting spec. Colour I don’t believe was available on the Mi16 in this country (is that correct @carlo?), no ABS (the Bendix ABS is reckoned to be troublesome anyway), heated front seats and plastic steering wheel (I’ve seen a few European market Mi16 with these).

I’ve not yet had time to get a proper look. Will check the timing belt. If OK (suspect it’s been replaced within last two or three years) I’ll stick a battery in and get it inside on a lift.

Yup, definately available over here, I sold two of them!
