AN INCREDIBLY stylish coupe that has almost Ferrari-like looks can be all yours for less than £5,000.
Its elegant style is only matched by its surprisingly powerful motor – a 3.0-litre V6 engine.
The Pininfarina-designed 406 Coupe has a unique look[/caption]
Its style is a subtle upgrade on the standard model but it’s been likened to a Ferrari[/caption]
Peugeot‘s cult favourite 406 Coupe – a sporty version of their regular 406 family saloon from the late 1990s and early 2000s – was designed and manufactured by car styling experts Pininfarina.
First released in 1996, the Coupe featured either a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine or a 3.0-litre V6, while a 2.2-litre diesel was released in 2001.
Car expert Matt Goodwin of the YouTube channel High Peak Autos recently compared the 406 Coupe to one of the world’s most famous makers of exotic motors.
He said: “It does look, at a quick glance, a bit like a Ferrari.
“That’s all thanks to Pininfarina – it’s a beautiful looking coupe.”
He added: “It is genuinely a stylish thing, you get nice plush leather seats, there’s room for four people and to top it all off, they’re cheap to buy and cheap to maintain.”
Of course, Pininfarina is a well-renowned Italian design firm known for its work for brands like Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati.
Today, the 406 Coupe is considered a modern classic and is becoming increasingly popular among car collectors.
We recently came across a model on the Cars & Classic auction website – a 2000 example with 115,000 miles on the clock.
This “pristine”, top-of-the-range 406 Coupe comes with the coveted 3.0-litre V6 engine and is finished in polaris blue, with a black leather interior and even Recaro sport seats.
The list adds: “Only one owner from new, the car has been immaculately looked after, recent work includes a full body respray.”
Best of all, this motor can be picked up for just £4,250 – an absolute bargain for such an eye-catching an iconic car.
This comes as a hot hatchback Peugeot that belonged to Mr. Bean star Rowan Atkinson recently went up auction — as he had barely driven it.

We’ll be keeping track of all the best Black Friday deals, so follow along to ensure that you don’t miss out.
When will Black Friday toy deals start in 2024?
In previous years many major retailers and brands like Amazon and John Lewis have chosen to roll out early deals from the beginning of November.
We anticipate several retailers will choose to spread out the sale period once again, so shoppers hoping to snap up the best toy bargains should sign up for as many newsletters as possible to find out exactly when various sales start.
Last year prices were slashed up to 70%, so you can expect significant discounts on popular brands and trending toys, however, the most popular and in-demand toys do run the risk of selling out.

We can 99.99% guarantee that you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding toy retailers taking part in Black Friday 2024.

Shoppers can expect to see popular brands like LEGO, Squishmallows, LOL Surprise! and Furby featured in the discounting at many different online and high street retailers.

What toy deals to expect in the Black Friday sale 2024?
The annual shopping event has gained significant traction over the last decade this side of the Atlantic, with many major UK stores offering substantial discounts on coveted new and classic toys.
The Black Friday toy sales for 2024 promise to be a treasure trove of savings, especially when you consider that lots of popular toys are stocked in major supermarkets, department stores, online retailers and specialist chains.
Some of the biggest toy trends for 2024 include retro toys making a comeback, with Argos reporting searches for Furby toys on its website are up by 237%.
Elsewhere we expect to see lots of toys based on children’s TV characters like Bluey and Cocomelon also featured in the Black Friday toy sales.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy video games?
Black Friday is the perfect time to buy video games or gaming accessories.
With most major brands slashing prices during November, you can pick up old and new video games at a fraction of their normal price.
Black Friday is a great time to buy Christmas gifts for less and shoppers can expect price cuts on the latest video game releases and Game Pass subscriptions, in addition to Nintendo Switch, Playstation and Xbox console bundle deals, which often fly off the shelves.
Amazon, GAME, Very, Argos and Currys are all great places to search for video games and gaming deals, and most retailers will compete to offer the lowest prices, so savvy shoppers will be able to find the very best deals and the cheapest price for the items they want.
What to watch out for when buying toys online
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online:
Shop early. Don’t leave ourchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from.
Check out third-party sellers. Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don’t know and do your research checking reviews and where they’re based.
Go for branded toys. Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer’s own website to check it’s legit.
Be careful of going for the cheapest price. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Check if there are any age restrictions. Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age.
Check reviews carefully. Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments.
Stay with children at first. When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.
When is Cyber Monday 2024 and are toy retailers taking part?
Cyber Monday 2024 falls on December 2 and is traditionally the online-only counterpart of Black Friday, taking place on the Monday that immediately follows.
Retailers taking part in Black Friday will almost certainly have a Cyber Monday sale, marking another chance to pick up some bargains ahead of Christmas.
Some shoppers like to chance it until Cyber Monday to see if prices will drop any further, but of course, it’s always a risk.
And over the last few years retailers have chosen to launch deals early and not lower prices throughout the sale.
However, we’d recommend that if you have your heart set on picking up a particular toy, you should snap it up as soon as the Black Friday sale lands to avoid disappointment.

BARGAIN hunters are raving about a new heated airer from Aldi that’s ‘cheaper than a tumble dryer’.
So with the weather all over the place, if you’re wondering how you will dry your clothes when winter arrives, you’ll need to check this out.
Aldi shoppers are going wild as the much-loved heated airer has finally returned to shelves[/caption]
So if you missed out on getting the affordable buy last winter, you’ll need to run as quickly as you can to your local Aldi to nab it before it sells out[/caption]
It’s big enough for towels and bedding, has 18 heated bars and is lightweight and foldable[/caption]
One savvy shopper was left beaming when browsing the aisles in her local Aldi, when she spotted the new ‘must-have laundry accessory’.
Thrilled with her find, which is priced at just £34.99, Madi Hanson took to social media to share it with others, leaving many open-mouthed.
Alongside her post, she explained: “Out today in Aldi, 6p per hour but we gave Octopus EV tariff so 1/3 of the price per hour between 11.30-5.30 pm. Effectively economy 7 rebooted.
“A lot cheaper than a tumble dryer and folds flat for those with a small space.”
Madi confirmed that the heated airer, which was sold last winter but is now back in stores again, comes with a cover too.
She added: “Everyone raved about it last year hence getting one.”
So if you don’t have a washing line to hang out your clothes, or are worried about rising electricity bills, this bargain buy is one you won’t want to miss.
It’s functional and effective and will help you dry off your clothes in no time at all.
It’s big enough for towels and bedding, has 18 heated bars and is lightweight and foldable.
As well as this, it’s great for the colder months and even better, comes with a three year guarantee.
Madi’s post has clearly impressed many, as it was shared just five hours ago, but has quickly amassed almost 100 comments.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Social media users were gobsmacked with the high-street buy and many were keen to express this in the comments.
One person said: “I want.”
I brought one last year. Haven’t used my dryer since
Facebook user
Another tagged a loved one and added: “We’ll have to grab one of these for winter!”
At the same time, many Aldi fans confessed that they have been lucky enough to get their hands on the new heated airer.
One shopper commented: “I have one and couldn’t be without it in winter.

HELEN Chamberlain has revealed one celebrity guest regularly caused carnage on Soccer AM – because they refused to get out of bed.
The former Sky Sports host presented the popular morning show alongside Tim Lovejoy from 1996 to 2007.
Helen Chamberlain presented Soccer AM for almost two decades[/caption]
She has recently teamed up with co-star Tim Lovejoy for the Soccer A-Z podcast[/caption]
Chamberlain and Lovejoy recently announced they are getting the cast back together for a new podcast.
The pair launched Soccer A-Z earlier this month, looking back at football fan culture and their time on the iconic Saturday morning program.
Discussing evasive guests during a recent episode, Chamberlain namedropped former boxer David Haye.
She laughed: “David Haye, the boxer, he didn’t not show up.
“But we would book him and would say ‘Your call time is 7.30am’.
“And he’d say ‘No, my call time is when I wake up and get there’.”
Haye unified the cruiserweight world title in 2008 and later became a heavyweight world champion.
But the now 43-year-old‘s timekeeping proved a huge issue with the Soccer AM production staff.
Chamberlain was excited for a trip down memory lane on Soccer A-Z, which has already topped the Apple podcast charts.
She explained: “I’m really looking forward to reminding Tim of all the absolute nonsense he thought up, and made us do during the Soccer AM days.
“I’m sure he’s forgotten most of it – luckily, the rest of us haven’t.
“We all have endless stories about putting that show together, and it’s going to be so good to catch up with some of the old crew and hear their best memories from both behind the scenes and in front of camera.”
