Just three pictures, and not very good ones either. But still... crikey.    |

If you cocked your head to the left to see the first two pics then you might be awesome like me.

See when somebody says "euro style" to me that's the sort of car that immediately comes to mind. Love it.

That's pretty much the only comprehensible word I can get out too. I opened the thread expecting it to be something special, and was still taken aback. There's something a bit '90s DB7 about the rear flanks. |

I really liked 405's, i had a couple (1.8/1.9) and they were more fun to drive than my 306's (both 2.0, 16/8v). 405 felt smaller and more agile, yet felt more at home on the motorway. They looked great, so a cabrio makes sense, i don't think this quite hits the mark for me, but with no 2dr available it's got to use a short style front door without serious panelwork, so with that option taken it looks a bit lacking in the OEM stakes. This Jag shows how much better it works when you sort the doors out..  I still want one though - even another 4dr! |

definitely a "why didnt they make that" car. might not be to some people's tastes but that back end is just so right to me.

Hmmm, with the Daimler I was sat there thinking "nice, nice, holy curse word they've put a tent on as a roof"
So close yet so far, roof looks like an afterthought.

I had a 405 for a short time. I tried to convince myself I hated it, but I couldnt. Once it was gone I realised how much I liked it and id have a 2dr coupe (did they make one?) tomorrow.

Yes I was immediately thinking of the 405T16 "Coupe" too. Even with ordinary wheel arches that roofline must look good & should be done.  I guess that the 406 coupe is so pretty comes as no surprise afterward. Hmmmm. Shame you couldn't readily backdate a 406 coupe with 405 bits to confuse people. |
