Mellow yellow

[Roylewaa]

Just found this D9 HDi on Swapz in yellow

Never seen a yellow one before, is it a factory colour?



Think it looks pretty cool, I can imagine it sitting on nice rims

ship it to new york and it would look normal, stands out here though.

It's the kind of thing the kids would do to mine if I couldn't find it in a car park.

Probably been used as a taxi, some firm or town in England that has a rule that all taxis must be yellow?

Or another fleet. Doesn't look standard for a D9 saloon.

My dad once had a mk2 Escort in yellow. Seemed to suit it with the vinyl roof.

ye its standard i think but not many was made in that colour.

if you search in general chat i did a topic on this. i found a saloon one..

Yeah, it's some kind of company livery either Taxi or some service company.....

Hey, thinking I could find an example of the original livery of such a beast I happened across this on google images........

"If Batman drove a 406".

Luggage space looks compromised due to, well, there being no boot.

Cabin looks airy, great headroom, but I would imagine leaks, the wind, the cold, and security may be an issue.

I imagined the Xantia coupe proposals were enough to kick Peugeot into considering a 406 version:

that 406 concept coupe, its ugly looking but you can see its been kept on file and reemerged in the RCZ which ive looked at, its ok from some angles but with the 308 front its hideous.

On the topic of unproduced coupes, this was never made:

[sirwiggum]

The 75 coupe would have been great. I was a fan of the rare 800 coupe too. The 200 Tomcat (R8, not the bubble shaped one) coupe was another great Rover design.

However, it was more of a taster to merge with SAIC, before they went bust and SAIC bought the assets anyway.

Very good

You had me in creases

"When we mentioned we wanted a coupe that owners could fit their irons into at the weekend, we didn't mean that!"

Is it an HDiron?

I hope they ironed out the Com2000 niggles!

Did the PSA PeugeotCitroen board approve?

You've heard of the 406 Executive, now the 406 Housekeeper!

Maybe the design team were pressed for time
