Introduction to the (then) new Peugeot 605, featuring a run down of its features, lion care gold.
Great piece of nostalgia from Peugeot-Talbot

80's Peugeots were such good looking cars.
Still a very good looking car.
Adam Lucey yes if you like the aesthetics of LEGO, it’s delicious.
2:07 Probably the most 80's advert ever: "Let's set fire to a field and drive the car through some explosions to the soundtrack of Take My Breath Away by Berlin!"
"Why?"
"Because this is the 1980's! Where style trumps substance every time! Now go fetch my double-breasted suit from the dry cleaners!"
MichaelBosley And later the engineers creating 307 took these flames too literal.
This is the video that Jeremy Clarkson was talking about
True Michael, but the finale was highlighted by a famous classical piece: The Moldau by Smetana. ( A romantic Czech composer, from the 19th Century).
I remember when my dad and I went to the Peugeot dealership to pick up a new 605 SVdT. Good old times.
I’ ve had several Peugeots 205 gti, 405 mi16, 306 gti and 605 v6, now a 207 vti turbo. And i can say i never had real big problems ! Still like this model
Surprisingly still looks quite crisp and clean for a 30 year old car! And seemed to be well made. As good as its German rivals of the period at least, and probably better equipped too. Shame nobody really cared in the UK because it was too easily mistaken for a 405, and lacked a German badge on the nose.
Well, the 605 really looked like a bigger 405...
@@Kev27RS Even so... it deserved more recognition and higher sales than it actually got. It was a very good car and I`d be happy to have it in my garague next to the mighty Citroën XM and Renault 25 Limousine.
+ When Mercedes, BMW or Audi has very similar looking line up nobody cares. People buy them anyway.
@@tyraela115 Yes, it was a nice car!
German cars always were more popular though! There's no way around it.
@@tyraela115 Hi.
Thanks for your comment!
I'll take a look.
I rescued a 605 from an abandoned US Peugeot dealer that was being torn down to make room for a shopping mall.. I still have it today with 111,444 miles on the clock since registering it in February 1998 at the age of 18
Wow please more info a peugeot 605 in the usa!!!???
You still have it??
The presenter is Carl Rigg who was in the opening sequence of The Living Daylights (1987) in the Land Rover racing down the Rock of Gibraltar. He was also in the pilot film of The Sweeney called Regan.
All the memories I get growing up, in 90s my granddad used to work for peugeot those years I loved the 605, 405 and 205s wish I had one in excellent condition today and the service standards were outstanding those days
*sensuously grasps the balcony railing while watching a Peugeot 205 driving by*
It was a lovely car with luxury and comfort as standard. It should have been also launched with an estate version for practicality purposes.
I drove a Renault 25 a bit. A beautiful french barge it was like driving a sofa and would soak up the miles. Not exactly a dynamic driving machine but lovely.
you watch this video and have to ask where did it all go wrong for Peugeot?
I loved the 605 and still do! My buddy had several.. all 3.0 and the last one was a late 1999 3.0 24v manual shifter. Such a smooth ride. I like it looked like a bigger 405.. don't see a problem with that :)
I own a 605 Sli of 1996 with 306000 km's , still counting. And a 505 Gti, and a Talbot Solara, and a Talbot Tagora.
The Peugeot 605 is a lovely car
My favorite car I ever owned was my 1981 505 turbodiesel with a 5 spd. Damn that was a great car
An absolute Gem, feels nice to drive and sit in compared to the Xf Jaguar
Like the fact the explain all about the breakdown cover and loan car if it /when it breaks down
In about 1993 we were getting a new car and it was between a Granada 2.9 ghia, the 605 3.0sve or Lancia Thema 2.0 turbo. I begged my dad to get the Granada, and he did, and we loved it, great family car, but looking back, not sure it was the best choice.
Shutterbugs Shadwell it was the right choice.
No from these 3 the 605 would have been the best choice. But otherwise it`s cousin Citroën Xm would have been. Not to mention this baby:

between Thema 2.0turbo and pug 605 3.0 to to chose ugly ford , ........if you was 11yrs old then 🤣its ok.
Lovely 😍
I miss my 205 junior sooooo much my first car
I love this channel
Miss my 405Mi16
Performance Car UK did an 800 mile group test pitting 605,Bmw 528,Jaguar, Alfa 164,Vauxhall Omega, the 605 beat them in every aspect.
I own one still, it's the most quiet car I 've ever owned in my life. And I am now up to 6 cars (I own still 4 of that 6 cars that I ever bought by the way)
This car changed the world.
Mesiés, the time has come for us to stop making the sporty car...
Video presented by Garth Marenghi?
Voiceover Martin Clunes?
Bit worried about the 405 hitting the cone, probably take out the side of the car 😂
Does anyone know the name of the gentleman presenter?
My past 605 sl and 605 sri petrol cars , heavy car expensive maintenance but it a good car 😁
7:14 looks like C4 corvette wheels
The golden age of Peugeot....
Rodger Moore looking as debonair is ever...
Younger than ever :-)
I once owned a Pug 105, fuck it was awful. I accelerated it once and the seat fell back along the rail and off the end, it hit the back seat and the car hit a hedge. The following week it went to auction with a few scratches, I was glad to see it gone.
2:14 what is the name of this song?
Take my breath away, it’s pretty self explanatory

All those robots and people out of work ,,,
Total flop in the UK just a bigger looking 405 at the time
Rob Hines you still repeating the silly comment. Don't all BMW look like each other even more, same as mercs
True, it really looks like a bigger 405...
Kev27RS So that's a compliment to Pininfarina's timeless elegance and proportions.
@@Kev27RS But it wasn't. Looking alike does not mean they are the same, they are two completely different throughout.
@@vs6300 I never said that it was the exact same car. 🙂
Just that it was a larger looking 405.
Amazing how we are 30 years on from this video and current Peugeot cars but a few are total rubbish in comparison! The 205,405,605 have something about them !
Im pretty sure ther are alot in iraq (the south)
I use to work for Peugeot back in the 80s and early 90s....unfortunately the 605 was to similar to its smaller brother in design though ironically it seems to have aged fairly well, it was uninspired to drive...and was a total sales failure in its market sector, we had stock discounted to fleet management buyers at 45% of list price....and on average they were held in stock for 8 months....
The problem with the 605 was that it looked too much like a slightly bigger 405. I’d rather have the sister car, the Citroen XM.
So would I. Not to mention this baby:

Beautiful car.......80s and 90s good cars.....today only marketing and war between the car companies....
The interior was a 100% Pininfarina's work of art.
*FALSE*
Interior design: Paul Bracq (Peugeot)
Exterior design: Gérard Welter (Peugeot)
Repeating lies a thousand times does not make them true. Pininfarina competed against Peugeot's internal design team but they didn't get the job.
The lies are from you buddy. At the final meeting on 9,12,1985 the Pininfarina's interior design was approved. Page 40-42 book by Jan Norbye,the interior by Pininfarina was selected over the in house. one.
@@Salman-sc8gr Why does not the 605 carry the Pininfarina emblem anywhere (all Pininfarina designs carry the emblem)? Because it would be false. I repeat that Pininfarina participated in the conception of the car as well as the Peugeot internal team. Both influenced the design and influenced each other. But I insist that saying that the interior is *100% Pininfarina* is a *lie*. And the same with the exterior. After the meeting you mentioned, the interior model of Pininfarina was evolved by the Peugeot internal team, led by Paul Bracq.
Just as the 505,404 did not carry Farina badges.You seem to be stuck in a spot,irrespective of facts.Its well documented and rather ridiculous of you to call me a liar .
Did you delete your comment? I have saved it. It said: "Paul Bracq was at bmw then" *FALSE* Paul Bracq worked at BMW in the 70's.
I have one
So do I. ;-)

605, XM, Renault 25, excellent cars but a total flop in the UK.
I loved the sumptuous luxury of the top spec pugs, far better than the competition. But no one really likes the brand here
@@legioner9 I think it's just popular to bash French cars for some reason.
@@pit_stop77 A few seconds of fame.
I never come across a more cheap interiors then Peugeots. Literally any other car feels like Rolls Royce after being in one.
Spoiler alert.... NO!
405s are crap, rust buckets, mine needs a new wheel arch
The Lion going from strength to strength,. The lion should be put down. Shockingly bad cars.
Oh yes? 306000 Km you call a bad car? Still counting my friend. And I own a 505 Gti with 334500 km's. Go back to school and learn some history lessons I'd say.
@@gti505 I think the Top Gear episode about Peugeot summed it up perfectly. Their crap cars and always will be. Back in to your box Asshole.
Thomas Courtney if you’re going to be offensive to a stranger on the internet, at least have a basic grasp of the English language. It’s “they’re” not “their”, off to school you go.
@@Tallandcharming apologies for my poor use of the English language.
Thomas Courtney I think calling someone an “asshole” is worse ;)
