1993 Peugeot 605 SRDT.
Another 605, there can't be many people who have owned two of these in the same year.
I regretted selling my silver one, but the leather and auto box were two bugbears. This one has velour and a manual gearbox, so its a vast improvement. Very mollycoddled from new, and it shows in how good it looks. Some room for improvement elsewhere, the exhaust is rattling in the mid section and the starter motor is very, very lazy sounding so I best sort that before it conks out completely.
Otherwise pretty decent to drive. I never quite understood the complaint many motoring journalists had of these at the time claiming the steering was vague. In my opinion, it's incredibly grippy for a big car and doesn't wallow like many others do. Obviously this one being shod in Michelins all round helps...
