Driving:

Suspension. This car is fabulous to drive - it was developed back when Peugeot made their own dampers in house and knew how to tune them. To have such a low mileage example means everything still feels as tight as you would expect. The cabin is such a calm place to be - with a relaxing ride, yet control if you need to take a B-road at speed.

The engine pulls well and the adaptive gearbox is smooth and adapts well to your driving, always selecting the right gear (It's far better than my current E-class, which is totally dumb in comparison). It shifts down under braking, holds gears round corners + you have the option of sport mode, which shifts down more aggresively and genuinely does make the car feel a lot quicker. I have been genuinely surprised with the gearbox thinking everyone was still in the habit of making slush boxes back in the late 90's, but Peugeot were ahead of the game

The interior shows barely any signs of wear - you can see from the photos the condition it's in. From new, the genuine Peugeot carpet mats have been covered by genuine Peugeot rubber mats! The seats strike an excellent balance between comfort and support. It's just a nice place to be.

All electrics work without fault. The climate control is very cold

Exterior wise, the car has been garaged it's entire life until I bought it earlier this year - unfortunately, my garage is already occupied with a 2CV and a little 106 Rallye, which aren't fully galvanised like this. There are a few marks here and there, which have mostly been touched in, but the overall appearance is excellent.

The brakes are quite recent. Tyres are 4 x Michelin, which are about half worn. I also have the original wheels (again, in excellent condition fitted with Pirelli P6000s all round - the rears are pretty new and the fronts about 4mm). Choice is yours which set you want or both would be available subject to negotiation.

Service History:

A incredible service history file with fully stamped book - in fact the car has been over-serviced against the specified schedule for the most part - the Peugeot recommendation is every 20k miles/2 years and the vast majoirty are every year.

As well as routine servicing, there are invoices for the cambelt, radiator and a couple of sets of brakes (amongst many other items). Every single invoice bar 2 for tyres is from the Peugeot Main Dealer and the car has had 1000s spent on it in just routine servicing. I also have the original sales invoice + correspondence back and forth from the garage and the owner.

I've listed the service dates and mileage below (it would take me several evenings to transpose the details of every invoice, so if you have any specific questions, please ask, or come and view the car/history:

I've been looking for 406 V6s for ages, so when this popped up, I bought it immediately. I absolutely love the car and find it a really enjoyable drive, but I do need an estate (well I did when I bought this, but I still do now). If I could find the exact same condition car as an estate, it would be perfect for me... perhaps I should buy an estate shell and swap everything into it!

Viewing welcome. Car is located just North of Milton Keynes (about 10 mins from J15 of the M1). Test drive possible with proof of insurance, otherwise I'm happy to take you out and demonstrate the car to you.

No canvassers, African princes, agents at Southampton docks, offshore workers, Western Union etc etc - just genuine buyers thanks.

Thanks for looking,

Simon
