And the winner of the best badge engineering goes to ....

[LFO]

Extra points for the tapes on Times new roman 64 valve 4x4 badges! Top work!

[TotalControl]

That's one hell of a limited edition.

[Egg Chaser]

Ahh yes, the Peugeot 64 Valve 4x4 Sport Turbo D V8 405 LX. What a machine.

[Graebob]

8 valves per cylinder

1993 405 with a Hackney badge on the back?

Don't what backwater it's from but to qualify for private hire use in the Democratic Banana Republic of Norfolk the car has to be less then five years old.

The driver must pay people to get in the back of that.

4 per cylinder and the rest in the radio .

Could be a clever double-bluff; the ultimate sleeper.




Probably not though.

[Liquid Knight]

I wonder what it's insured as.......

[off_again]

At least they have a sense of humour - could be worse, it could be a 520d with an M5 badge.... sacrilege

[Liquid Knight]

Serious question actually. If you drive a Astra LS for example but the S has fallen off. You insure it as an L. If you're involved in an RTC will you be covered because the difference in spec between an L and an LS would make the premium different?

L = 8 valve single over head cam' 1.6
LS = 16 valve DOHC, air con, electric windows, CD, etc.

So his car must be insured as a 405 LX TDi V8 Turbo or it isn't insured.

Honda already did it back in 1979!

The glued on print outs round that off rather nicely!
