New 405

[sirwiggum]

The 405 they sell in Iran looks a bit like a facelift D9.

I'm hoping they'll replace it with a real D9 soon, (then we can get some projector headlights too).

Needs lowering

Lol... good luck finding one of those over here. the only thing i prefer about it is the rear lights!

They still make them abroad...

Designed in France, it has been manufactured in:
Europe: from 1987 to 1997 at Sochaux (France) and Ryton (UK).
Zimbabwe: until 2002, by Quest.

I think I've just found FarmerPug's new car............

The 'Bardo' has an efficient 1.6 8-Valve 83bhp engine with 'aluminium' linked to a 4-forward speed Manual (and one 'for' reverse) and "non-assisted" steering

Can it pull a cattle trailer?

"This mid-size executive pick-up is very practical for shop holders, farmerpugs, small businesses, and private transportation companies"

An executive pick-up. Would look well in the company car park beside the german boxes.

Has the same number of gears as the Honda. Thats all ye need!

"Brakes – front hydrolic disk
Brakes – rear hydrolic drum"

These hydrolic brakes, is that a Citroen derived system?

"Tinted glasses, side view mirrors, and double headrests provide decent safety for Bardo's driver and passenger. "

Those rose tinted glasses and headrests should be decent enough safety.

"Some products may not be available in a country."

i think the non executive hilux will have to do that brado would be a bit too flashy

Hillman Hunter meets Ute

If it's any help, 'paykan' means 'arrow' in Farsi [/2d worth]

Did you browse their other motor vehicles? reading the spec on the 405 it was said to have a 1.6 petrol engine linked to a 'decent' 5-speed gearbox

Now I've had loads of gearboxes in my time but I can't remember which were more decent than the others

[sirwiggum]

It has decent safety.
Allegedly.

[FarmerPug]

Decent safety, its probably helped by the decent gearbox, and potentially decent engine, they combine to make even the most aggressive driver much more decent on the roads

[Welly]

It has decent safety.
Allegedly.

That's ok then!

Imagine the equivalent of our NCAP ratings........

* * * * Decent

* * * Weak

* * For Display Purposes Only

* Seriously?

[FarmerPug]

then this old 405 is safer than the * * * rating of a d9 406

[sirwiggum]

They could do with teaching bmw and audi a trick or two then.

***** Decent, **** Alright, *** Not bad, ** It'll do, * Never let on

[steve_earwig]

Possibly some of that got lost in translation. But then, who cares?

Now I've had loads of gearboxes in my time but I can't remember which were more decent than the others

The 'box in the toyotter is definitely indecent

Hillman Hunter...'arrow'

Uh-huh
