Peugeot 405 Mi 16 Original UK Launch Video Featuring Martin Brundle

A Peugeot 405 Mi 16 promotional video, which we managed to obtain on VHS, featuring a very young and knowledgeable Martin Brundle. The car market was extremely competitive back in the 1980's and companies like Peugeot would often create mini film reviews of their cars to tempt buyers.
The 405 Mi 16 was the sporty version of an already fantastic executive model and would have definitely appealed to the motorway driver who demanded a bit more in the way of performance.
In this video, Martin Brundle shows just how smooth and capable the 405 Mi 16 was at speed around the Bruntingthorpe Track and then gives an overview of the exterior and interior features of the car.
We hope you enjoy this video. Please help us out by giving us a 'Like' and maybe even subscribing. Thank you.

Absolutely love the early 16v engine. Used to work on them at Peugeot and later with Citroën too. They thrive on revs.

[@F1Kamel_1992]

To my mind the 405 Mi16 is a future classic and it certainly looks the part from every angle

[@gbjwal1]

Wheeler Dealers (Dec 2023) just did one and got £20k via auction after buying one for £5700 and spending £2k on it. You were right!

[@iandavidson99]

I had one of this exact colour/spec. Great car! In fact, mine was the silver one now shown on the bottom of the Wikipedia page for the Peugeot 405 (reg "H14 NSH")

[@daboss3116]

That reg had your name in it.. nice one

[@carlmarkwyatt]

Still a very good looking car today.

[@OverblownOverthrown]

This engine had already appeared in the Citroen BX GTi 16v the year before, but not surprised he didn’t mention that!

[@markkofi8522]

I remember these from back in the day. Especially the red ones. 👌🏽

[@russcattell955i]

When Peugeot made good cars.

[@Jack-lo1uc]

Awesome!!

[@motenai343]

La 405 est une voiture exceptionnelle!! J'adore cette voiture:)

[@volt8684]

Citroen/peugeot chassis engineers in that era - genius

[@lawrencetaylor4318]

Just purchased a UK based 93 L reg MI16. Love them and had 2 back in the 90's.

[@daboss3116]

What did you pay for it mate? If you don’t mind me asking?

[@WilliamCWayne]

What a nice find! It would seem that Martin's presentation skills have come a long way.

[@paulillingworth1242]

Good drivers cars , had a x2 series ones a petrol & diesel then a later minor facelift TD very good handling and a good drive, never owned a Mi16 but often thought of getting one at the time.

[@Salman-sc8gr]

Pininfarina's beauty!

[@sayerma]

Owned two of these. Both series 2's, the first white paint the second burgundy. Great car, always would get comments from other car blokes around the place. Hardly ever see them anymore, thanks to many dickheads wrecking them to pull out the engine and gearbox for their piss-slow 205's. This car was the better drive, no question.

[@JohnMcMahon.]

How young is Martin here? This is DEFINITELY pre Grid walk Martin Brundle 😉

[@jonntischnabel]

Haven't they aged well when compared to Sierra or cavalier. I'm a massive 205/309 fan, I had a 205 aged 21, and decided to get another last year to relive my youth. My dad had a 90 (H) 405 mi16 x4 and really rated it, I always remember it being so comfortable when I was a lad.

[@unclejoe6811]

Brundle managed not to crash, well done 👍

[@psiddey]

I had a black one as my first car which was a good choice but I still wanted a 205GTI

[@hanssimon8780]

Neighbors had one,it was a terrible engine fire, car looked fine but engine had melted.

[@chrislockey7706]

I always preferred the 405 Sri Slightly slower but just looked a bit neater

[@JohnMcMahon.]

This must’ve been filmed summer 89.

[@grahamepigney8565]

Great car, I wanted one at the time but the headroom for the driver was pathetic. With the driver's seat at its lowest position my head was still rubbing on the sunroof surround.

[@UKBarnFinds]

Sadly, being too tall for a car has never been an issue for myself!

[@brianfreeman8290]

Why, O why did I sell it ?

[@UKBarnFinds]

I think we all know that feeling....

[@user-iw8bl2gb9u]

I'm from Iraq what is the price of this car?

[@yaserarbabi4399]

لایک ۴۰۵ من زدم😊😊
