Great Britain Loves the Peugeot 406 Coupe

2010 is an important year for Peugeot, as it marks the French marque’s 200th birthday. At the same time, 2010 brings the Italian Pininfarina design house to its 80th year of life. The two companies have collaborated for many projects throughout their history, with one of them being the Peugeot 406 Coupe.

The vehicle’s sporty but elegant line has conquered many automotive enthusiasts, leading to the formation of 406 Coupe dedicated communities. One of these is the 406 Coupe Club UK, which will celebrate its 5th birthday this year and plans to hold an event that will also mark the two aforementioned anniversaries.

The Peugeot 406 Coupé is the product of a joint collaboration between the French car firm Peugeot and the Italian designers Pininfarina, which has resulted in a highly successful and multi award winning modern classic. The anniversary meet will be the perfect opportunity for owners, past and present, to come along and meet other members, whilst exchanging knowledge and chat of what is fast becoming a rare car,” stated the press release.

The birthday meet will take place on May 23 at the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, which is located in the heart of the New Forest National Park.

"This special birthday meet at Beaulieu is shaping up to be the biggest ever, even beating the French 406 Coupé club’s record. We already have over 70 cars signed up, coming from France and Holland as well as the UK, and are hoping the final total may reach 100,” said David Bater of the 406 Coupé Club.
