I love that interior! My goodness, it might look like a bordello but I don't care one bit! This car could make a good project but I need another project like a hole in the head ….
BTW, I was in MBS for servicing last week and on the floor was a display car in chrome yellow. It looked fabulous!
Bring back colour; silver and black are so yesterday!
Regards,
Brian

It's certainly unique, most of the 560's imported by MB Australia seemed to be smoke silver with cream leather.
It will be a good project for somebody, the code 822 engines are potent and 560SECs are only going to go up.

Another nice SEC, high compression 420 so good power. No climate control to worry about. Honkers delivery, so less rust issues than uk. Soft leather interior too.

Great looking car.

But where are the interior shots, the under bonnet & inside the boot shots?

I can never understand why people try to sell a car without all the shots people need to decide if they are interested in it or not.

It’s near me, so if anyone would like me to give it a full inspection, please let me know as I am happy to do it for you chaps.

.........I also worry about the carpets (even though one can't see that much), additionally the Bundts are of the Italian variety (I think) and somehow I am simply suspicious of the quality of this car. It just doesn't appeal. Regards Styria

That’s a pretty impressive snout there Brian.
The Jimmy Durante of the French motoring world.

Still not quite as good as the beautiful Spitty though Brian :cool:

Styria might be persuaded to jump ship & head south from Stuttgart to Sochaux after seeing this gem!

At the moment there are 3 Spitfires for sale - all around $AUD3M. This Peugeot snout will save enough for a holiday in a Trump Resort.

BenzBoy, the Peugeot featured in this particular advertisement really represents a magnificent car. When in Austria back in 2008, a childhood mate had exactly the same car as featured here. Beautifully finished interior, the car just oozed quality and solidity and was an outstanding performer when the pedal was depressed for more speed. We went for quite a lengthy drive in the beautiful countryside, and one could not fault the car.

On account of the Diesel engine, just a bit of an Aircraft interior hush which was surprising, and Hans (my mate) could not tell me what size engine lurked under the bonnet - he said "how would I know, I have never lifted the bonnet - it always goes" so perhaps that illustrates the sort of reliability one would wish for. I am not sure, if in this country, a Peugeot would be an ideal choice on account of possible servicing and parts costs, so one would have to be prepared to bite the bullet, and perhaps accept the challenge of possible substantial expenses in owning a car such as this. It is very, very nice. Regards Styria
