1991 Peugeot 405 MI 16
Only 51,700 kilometres First hand Full history and notebooks French car registration document Chassis No.: VF315BD6270422144 After confirming the commercial success of the 205 GTI, Peugeot wishes to continue riding the wave of sportiness. Thus, hardly revealed to the general public in 1987, the 405 gets its claws out and receives the MI 16 name on its rear trunk, and the 1905 cc 16-valve 4-cylinder with 160 horsepower. The era is turbo-charged, and the Sochalian brand is facing fierce competition, with Renault 21 Turbo in the lead. But with its Bosh Motronic fuel injection, power is available up to 6,500 rpm, enough to provide character and excitement at the top of the rpm range, with nearly 220 km/h predicted at top speed. In 1992, Peugeot offered a completely revamped 405 MI 16, and this was the birth of phase 2, which was marketed until 1995. The displacement is increased to 1998 cm3 while the engine loses power with 5 horsepower less, the fault of the catalytic converter which has become the norm. The engine stroke is reduced, the bore increases, as does the torque, but nothing helps. The MI 16 phase 1 remains ahead in terms of pure performance, making it the most sought-after of the two. At a time when the beautiful 205 GTIs have already reached insane sums, the 405 MI 16 still available on the market is probably the one to bet on from now on. The one we are presenting here is a Phase 1 sold new on September 26, 1991 by the Peugeot Ortelli dealer in Cagnes-sur-Mer, for the sum of 179,000 francs, as evidenced by the original delivery invoice. It was then delivered with a leather interior, air conditioning and heated seats. To this day, our car still bears its first registration, simply because it is an exceptional first hand car with only 51,648 kilometres. This particularly low mileage is due to the fact that the couple had bought this car when they moved south for their retirement. Living in the centre of Cagnes-sur-Mer, they used their 405 only on rare occasions. As can be seen from the service book and all the invoices, this car has benefited from serious follow-up and regular maintenance in the Peugeot network. All this is illustrated when we approach the car as it comes to us in an absolutely unique original condition. The bodywork is in very good condition and the leather interior is barely patinated. On closer inspection, it even seems that the back seat has hardly ever been used to seat passengers. Taken back to Paris for sale, the car came by road and benefited from a general maintenance service. Thus, the distribution kit was changed, as well as the fuel pump, the water pump and the spark plugs. Given its mileage, its history and its general condition, this 405 MI 16 phase 1 has all the assets of a youngtimer to be collected as a matter of urgency.
