That's an incredible looking D8! Those headlamps look shinier than the ones on most D9s I've seen! Did it spend 8 years in a garage or something?
Just out of interest, how much did you pay for it?

Hello Louis,
That's a fine looking 406 there! and mjb's right about those shiney headlights
You would really struggle to find even the very last of the 406's on an '04 plate with 42000 miles
My sister had a Renault Clio 16V when they first came out (K reg) and it was a great car. I remember the engine was designed with 'extra' clearance on the pistons to allow it to rev freely but the downside was it sounded a bit rough when cold

I can't remember the specs now - was it 150BHP for the Williams and 130BHP for the 16V ???

That IS a damn fine lookin d8!!!

Suggestion: Don´t drive the car at all, just store it in a dry garage for the next 20 so years, and it´ll be a classic!!

I'm pleased with the miles on it
