PEUGEOT 306 Cabrio Roland Garros Auto FamousOwner


















































Launched as a celebration of Peugeots long standing partnership with the French Open tennis tournament, the Roland Garros edition combined the 306 platform with a higher specification and unique styling cues. Originally purchased new by Britt Allcroft, the television presenter and producer best known for creating the TV series of Thomas the Tank Engine. A charming and well documented survivor of Peugeots popular Roland Garros special edition, further enhanced by its connection to a notable first owner. With low mileage and excellent provenance, this example would make a fine addition to any collection of modern classics or serve as a distinctive and enjoyable everyday classic. The MK1 Peugeot 306 Cabriolet Roland Garros Edition is incredibly rare (especially on the UK Market) and included exclusive metallic green paint, colour matched detailing, part white leather upholstery, alloy wheels and special badging, marking it out as a particularly stylish cabriolet car of the 1990s. The accompanying comprehensive history file is HUGE and includes old MOT certificates dating back to 1999, numerouse letters and hand written correspondence verifying Mrs Allcrofts ownership, a wealth of invoices for servicing and parts and the original Peugeot bookpack containing the owners handbooks, supplying dealer presentation folder and stamped service book. This example has been diligently maintained over the years and benefits from a recent cambelt change just 600 miles ago, current mileage of 56,625 is warranted as genuine thanks to the history on file. The bodywork is in very good order, newly powder coated alloy wheels, interior overall is fantastic with the expected wear to the drivers bolster and seat pad. (New original Roland Garros seat covers are available in France for less than £300 if needed). The roof is watertight and operates well, with the addition of a new boot hatch ram. Four small symmetrical repair patches to the roof where it has previously rubbed against the framework, but doesnt detract from the overall look, functionality and provenance of the car. The engine bay is spotless and the car runs faultlessly. The engine is quiet, responsive and smoke free. The automatic gearbox is smooth up and down the box. The steering, suspension, brakes and drive train are positive and responsive.
