Peugeot 106, 206, 306, 406 and 806: books - history

La Peugeot 406 Coupé de mon père

In the spring of 2000, the luxury car that the French dreamed of the most was called... the Peugeot 406 Coupé! Surprising, really? Not so much.
The excellent road qualities of the 406 saloon were retained and even improved; the new, cutting-edge engine was remarkable; the interior fittings were of a level that was uncommon in French production at the time; and above all, above all, the line of its bodywork, due to the particularly inspired pencil of the teams of the Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina, a world reference, was enough to make all the other car manufacturers green with envy.

• Richly illustrated, this book is dedicated to the Peugeot 406 Coupé cars from 1997-2004.
• Retraces in detail the history and evolution of the Peugeot 406 Coupé, designed by Pininfarina.
• This volume of the "La voiture de mon père" collection is not only a source of in-depth information for the owner, but also a concise guide to originality.
• The technology, variants, modifications and special versions are described in detail.
• Contains more than 200 period photos, often unpublished.
