A 1998 French film called 'Taxi' which had a white Peugeot 406 saloon. In later 'Taxi' films, they had a white 407 (2004-2011). Which I call the 16th November. I call the Vauxhall Astra J/Mk6 hatchback (2009-2015) the Taxi but I don't call the 406 the Taxi. The 406 went into production between 1995 to 2004.
Several years ago. That red Peugeot 406 Rapier Estate (Y945 LEU) was a private hire taxi in Tiverton (where I live). That Peugeot 406 taxi used to pick and drop someone down the road of my old house several years ago.
Funny, but a 'magic' comment by me: see: rate-driver.co.uk/RE04TUE.
