Peugoet models cars

I have been looking for a model of the 407 to put at my work desk. This isn’t as easy as one might think. There are dozens of models of Ferraris, Porsches and other supercars but finding models of your standard Peugeot sedan is pretty rare. Funnily enough, here in Kuala Lumpur, it’s actually easier to find Citreons, Renaults and many Japanese makes than it is to spot a Peugeot. I managed to snag a few at the end though.

These were from ToysRUs and Toys city.

The 407 is nicely detailed, with opening doors and bonnet. I think its a good representation of the Coupe. RM 99.90 each. Comes with plastic display case.

The 207 also comes with a display case and costs about RM 29.90. Its quite a striking vehicle.

This cute little 206 only costs RM 4.95 over at ToysRus. Very adorable!

The 407 Coupe and the 207 comes from a company called Welly while the 206cc is made by Dickie diecast. All come with a mix of diecast and plastic parts.

Peugeot premium gifts

I picked up a couple of items when I got my car, some as gifts and others I bought along the way, Just wanted to share a quick review of the items.

This premium watch retails for around RM 150.00. You should be able to find it the local Naza Peugeot Dealer. The dial comes in 2 colours, black and white. Personally, I think the design is fairly elegant and stylish. The chronograph does not work unfortunately and the Japanese based movement is quartz but what can you expect for that kind of money? Certainly not a luxury automatic watch. A bigger problem is that the face is made of glass not crystal thus can be prone to scratches especially if you are as careless as I am. The leather strap sit very nicely on my wrist, which is of fairly average size and overall it feels pretty good. I am a little worried about the durability if one were to use it on a daily basis but as long its used sparingly say for a special occasion (ex: TT with Peugeot gang!) it’s not a bad gift for your Peugeot obsessed loved one.

The keychain is also pretty cool. It feels very solid and has a detailed embossed pattern on the back.

Finally they also have a Peugeot baseball cap for sale at RM 30.00. The quality and stitching is not too bad with the Peugeot logo prominently displayed at the centre. This will probably be the item I wear most often. Comes in two colours, black and blue if I remember correctly.
