just a question of how to go about sourcing one really, im not worried about it being LHD or even if i had to go abroad to get it, would £5k get you a 1/2 decent one? i saw one advertised a while ago for around this price in France but wasnt in a position to buy back then.

TBH - you'd have to REALLY want one to justify it - it's not like you can just pop down your dealers or GSF for parts.

i asked last time i was in a Peugeot dealer buying bits for a 406 i had at the time and they do list parts for them although dont stock them, they can be on the next delivery from France, it is a car i do really want, not sure why exactly but they just appeal to me.

Parts aren't that expensive or hard to get hold of. I know of a few for sale this side of Europe, give me a shout if you need any info.

If your looking abroad the French website webmycar.com should keep you busy for a while.

Always Loved these, surely it would be possible to use a donor vehicle to change it to RHD?

shame they never sold them over here in the first place

i think that would be too much hassle personally, having a LHD car isnt that much of an inconvienience really.
