Griffe? Is that like, errr, giraffe? :oops:

Looks like an executive with all the trimmings, except a 4 dial dash :shock:

"Griffe" means giraffe in french... It's the trim level. Was a "special" trim level in Portugal. Just don´t have electric seats(heated, but not electrical), JBL hi-fi and sat-nav...

It seems to mean either a designer label, the carved base of a column, a person of mixed American Indian and Negro blood or a claw - I wonder which Peugeot were going for :?

The French for giraffe is, err, girafe.

Not only in Portugal, apparently; http://www.tradecarview.com/specificati ... 2.0/23927/

Note ground clearance - bet they don't sell lowering springs for these.....

Well of course there's no ground clearance, it's not a bleedin' hovercraft :roll:

Just noticed that in the pic. Probably the best way to have it too. Haven't ever seen (standard fit) manual leather in any other 406.

Muito Boa tarde. reparei que a viatura tem Placa portuguesa, por isso deduzo que seja português, gostaria de saber se ainda é proprietário da viatura, e se por acaso não é da zona da Covilhã.

Obrigado

Hadn't noticed before - but it's got an oil pressure warning light, (which ours don't have). :?
