Can't find china blue with black leather :(

The search is on for my CC now - I'm after a 2 litre one with black leather, in China Blue - fairly low miles and preferably 03 reg or newer. Trouble is there are only 2 China 2 litre ones listed on the peugeot website and both have the Lama leather

am I being difficult by trying to find a rare combination of china and black leather or is the summer the wrong time to be looking? I don't mind waiting a few months I guess as long as I get the right car in the end

thought that china blue was fairly new colour to the range

they reckon the best time to buy a cabrio is in the winter months but the 206CC is a hardtop not a fabric jobbie so i don't suppose it matters when u buy

Happy CC hunting

Don't you like it with lama grey ?

I have seen one and it looked great and really brightened the interior which can be a little dull in black - imo

I think china blue is a 54 or 05 reg .. it def. won't be available in an 03 reg I'm afraid

You can get 03 in China Blue but it will be an import.

They were previously available in Europe before the UK.

uh oh, 54 reg it'll have to be then

more money gone hehe!

I do like the lama leather but I prefer the black - I have a china blue 206 hatch at the mo with full black leather inside and I love it, so the CC would be a very similar car just without a roof and with the gti engine instead of a modded hdi

Get something different or it will just be like having the same car in the winter apart from a slightly more responsive engine

that's what I want! It'll be my 3rd 206 in a row, 1st was a 1.4 LX in Indigo, then my current China Blue HDi, next a China cc hehe. After the cc I'll move away from the 206, just wanted to work my way up through the range

Your too slow in working through it - I went straight from the 1.4LX to the 2.0SE

My attempts with the 106 range went.......

1.0 Mardi Gras with 4 speed box..........
following year oohhhh look at the nicer graphics on the aztec and with a posh 1.1 engine and 5 GEARS - i'll have one

then following year again oh look at that nice new facelift model - let's get an extra two doors and nice electric windows and central locking on the XL model.

Then I grew up and got a 306

unfortunately I made a mistake and got the 5 door model :rolleyes:

I've never owned more than one car from the same manufacturer

PS: What colour is "Lama"?

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 11:38 pm

A light grey and very nice.

hehe well after the 1.4 I wanted a really moddable engine, so got the HDi, took it from 90 to 132bhp and back down again (smoke, yuck), now I'll stick with the 2 litre petrol engine and do a few small mods to it, concentrating on the rest of the car
if I can find one that is!
