Sales of convertible cars
always open up as the UK
weather improves, and
Peugeot continues to dominate
the sector with its 206
CC and 307 CC (Coup
Cabriolet) cars attracting
12.5% of themarket.
Since the beginning of the year
up to and including May, over
5000 open-top Peugeot cars
have already been purchased,
making us number one.
With prices for the Peugeot 206 CC
starting from £14,145, or £17,350
for the bigger 307 CC, both versatile
designs can be specified with
either petrol or diesel engines and
a range of options to enhance personalisation.
And should the weather suddenly
change (not uncommon here in
the UK), the spacious four-seater
CC's fully automatic, rigid, integral
roof closes in less than 25 seconds,
taking the driver from wind-inthe-
hair motoring to the insulated
comfort of a hardtop coup in little
time at all.
David Brookman, sales director at
Peugeot, commented: "It's clear
themajority of customers buying
an open-top car appreciate the
value, specification and practicality
offered by Peugeot's CC cars.
Regardless of the UK's changeable
weather, our customers seem to
have a real love affair with our
responsive electric powered roofs
and the flexibility this provides.
New diesel models bring environmental
and economic benefits
too."
Double honours
Peugeot's stylish 407 has secured a
double win - awarded the 'Best
Family Car' (for the second year
running) and 'Best Performance
Car' at the British Insurance Car
Security Awards (BISCA), hosted at
Thatcham- theMotor Insurance
Repair Research Centre.
Judges carefully considered the latest
new cars on a number of stringent
vehicle security and protection
criteria, in the cause to fight
against car crime.
High Standard
The Peugeot 407 Saloon and
Coup models both won their categories
for the high standard of
security equipment that includes:
plip activated remote automatic
door and boot locking, driveaway
locking activation, engine immobilisation,
laminated front and
side windows, deadlocks, ultrasonic
alarm, integrated in-car entertainment
system, locking wheel
nuts for alloy wheels andmany
other covert security protection
devices.
Peugeot's marketing director, Andy
Sutton, commented: "We are
delighted that Peugeot has again
been recognised for its high levels
of security features in these important
awards.
"It is our main objective to protect
customers with the added benefit
of having the lowest insurance
rates."
