I like it... What was that about only 2 being produced? Tell more.

Except for the steering wheel, that looks wrong, it's a road car, putting that wheel makes it look kevved-up.

1997 Peugeot Dimma Cabriolet

Here we have my Dimma which I am selling as I have got a hard-top version.
The car is in excellent condition with 6 months MOT and 6 months tax.

The car is the original prototype Dimma cabriolet No.1 which makes it very, very unique!

It was converted when it was brand new by Dimma Design in Delamere, Cheshire to be a show car for a Peugeot dealership in Leeds to showcase the Peugeot 306 cabriolet and the conversion work done by Dimma Design.

It was on sale for £20,000+ back then.

The car has only had 3 owners and I am one of them. The first owner had the interior fully trimmed in leather and he got a first-of-it's-kind spoiler shipped over from Germany and fitted to the car at a considerable cost (the spoiler does not appear on any of the hard-top 306 Dimma's). It's a full wide-arch model with widened track and Peugeot Group-A suspension which Dimma Design approached Peugeot for as this had been used successfully on their World Rally cars. It was fitted to the car by Dimma at the time of being converted.

The car was originally a 2ltr 8v model and has had a Gti6 conversion, so it now has a six-speed gearbox, a 2ltr 16v engine and 167 horsepower! So all of these features coupled with the Group-A suspension, , plus the Dimma Design body conversion means it looks the mutt's nuts!

It has had a professional re-spray in original Peugeot 'Ruby' red. It is the top spec model, ie it has four electric windows, a power hood, electric heated mirrors, etc.

***This is a one-of-a-kind vehicle in a unique specification with an interesting history and is therefore a rare opportunity***
price £7650

I was talking to Chris ( Digitalwolf on here ) about the car, and like he said the car is abit pricey for what is a 306.. although its very unique.
 
I've been to the chaps house, as I was buying some leather/alcantara seats off him, he's actually got a 306 Dimma Hatchback which... wait for it.... he's transplanted a 2.0 HDi engine into :eek:

It does look a little high in the photos for some reason ( I didn't look at that side when I was there ! )

EDIT - Infact the whole car looks too high in the pics.. weird.. didn't stand out that much when I was standing next to it.
