peugeot 406 that does not exist !

[bluedragon1]

hi all, i have just purchased my 406 from an elderly guy who has been diagnosed with altzheimers but looked after it really well before being diagnosed.

my problem is i am trying to insure it but it does not exist it seems on databases of all the insurers i have tried! , i'll lay it out for you to see if anyone can help me in this strange situation.

peugeot 406, right hand drive, saloon, 4 door, 1761cc, petrol, 16 valve injection, automatic, built sept 1998, registered 11/02/2000 V reg (so maybe import?),
model code 8B LFYP, mot'd, taxed, milage 66257 (can't determine what the trim is but think L).

so can anyone guess what it is L,LS,LX,GLX,RAPIER ? and who can insure it?

Welcome in Blue!
You'll need to get the VIN no; this should be on a plate in the bottom corner of the windscreen and check it matches the one in the logbook!
There are websites that decode your VIN, I googled this one.
If this doesn't work register a free account at Servicebox which will give you all the details.

My Honda was like that. Turns out it was an import from the Isle of Man, so while it was UK spec it was an import from outside GB/NI.
Just gave the insurance company the spec from the V5/bootlid badging, and they were happy enough.

if you pm or post your vin i'll get the details from servicebox for you..

[sirwiggum]

Did any UK spec cars come with an EMERGENCY WARNING TRIANGLE?

I think its compulsory in France and Germany?

and Poland!

[lozz]

Perhaps its another car origanily From ireland,
had the same problems with mine,

check out the car on Mot info.gov - if only a few previous Mots pop up itl be an import,
itl show its Previous reg too on there if its had a plate change,

NI imports to GB will still show, I've done the opposite and never an issue.

HOWEVER

ROI imports to GB are like my Isle of Man car and they'll be baffled.
