AN INCREDIBLY stylish coupe that has almost Ferrari-like looks can be all yours for less than £5,000.
Its elegant style is only matched by its surprisingly powerful motor – a 3.0-litre V6 engine.
Peugeot‘s cult favourite 406 Coupe – a sporty version of their regular 406 family saloon from the late 1990s and early 2000s – was designed and manufactured by car styling experts Pininfarina.
First released in 1996, the Coupe featured either a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine or a 3.0-litre V6, while a 2.2-litre diesel was released in 2001.
Car expert Matt Goodwin of the YouTube channel High Peak Autos recently compared the 406 Coupe to one of the world’s most famous makers of exotic motors.
He said: “It does look, at a quick glance, a bit like a Ferrari.
“That’s all thanks to Pininfarina – it’s a beautiful looking coupe.”
He added: “It is genuinely a stylish thing, you get nice plush leather seats, there’s room for four people and to top it all off, they’re cheap to buy and cheap to maintain.”
Of course, Pininfarina is an well-renowned Italian design firm known for its work for brands like Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati.
Today, the 406 Coupe is considered a modern classic and is becoming increasingly popular among car collectors.
We recently came across a model on the Cars & Classic auction website – a 2000 example with 115,000 miles on the clock.
This “pristine”, top-of-the-range 406 Coupe comes with the coveted 3.0-litre V6 engine and is finished in polaris blue, with a black leather interior and even Recaro sport seats.
The list adds: “Only one owner from new, the car has been immaculately looked after, recent work includes a full body respray.”
Best of all, this motor can be picked up for just £4,250 – an absolute bargain for such an eye-catching an iconic car.
This comes as a hot hatchback Peugeot that belonged to Mr. Bean star Rowan Atkinson recenntly went up auction — as he had barely driven it.
Another Peugeot hot hatch has been picked out by a car expert for being both super fun and surprisingly practical – but it regularly falls under the radar.
IF you want to find the best toy Black Friday deals hitting shelves this November you are in the right place.
From action-packed adventures to adorable plushies, buying toys in the Black Friday sale is a smart move for shoppers who want to save on gifts for their little ones ahead of the festive season.
With sizeable discounts expected on big brands such as LEGO, Disney toys, Barbie dolls and more in the Black Friday sales, this November is set to be the ultimate playground for toy lovers of all ages.
Shoppers will easily find deep discounts on some of this year’s hottest toys at retailers like Argos, Amazon, John Lewis and Hamleys.
So whether you’re hunting for the hottest new toy gadgets for Christmas or a classic board game the whole family can enjoy, buckle up as we delve into the best toy deals and steals that are expected this Black Friday.
Black Friday lands on November 29 this year.
It always falls the day after US Thanksgiving celebrations – however, over the last few years, some retailers have chosen to launch early deals in the weeks leading up to the big sale.
As well as toys, you can expect big discounts across pretty much every shopping category imaginable, ranging from homeware and tech to fashion and beauty.
We’ll be keeping track of all the best Black Friday deals, so follow along to ensure that you don’t miss out.
In previous years many major retailers and brands like Amazon and John Lewis have chosen to roll out early deals from the beginning of November.
We anticipate several retailers will choose to spread out the sale period once again, so shoppers hoping to snap up the best toy bargains should sign up for as many newsletters as possible to find out exactly when various sales start.
Last year prices were slashed up to 70%, so you can expect significant discounts on popular brands and trending toys, however, the most popular and in-demand toys do run the risk of selling out.
We can 99.99% guarantee that you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding toy retailers taking part in Black Friday 2024.
The November event is ideal for Christmas shoppers who plan to get the bulk of their gift shopping done in the sales, whether you plan to browse online from your sofa or hit the high street.
Below we have highlighted some of the main shops worth checking when the sale kicks off in November.
Shoppers can expect to see popular brands like LEGO, Squishmallows, LOL Surprise! and Furby featured in the discounting at many different online and high street retailers.
The fact that many retailers will go head to head during Black Friday means shoppers should definitely shop around and compare prices to ensure they are getting the cheapest deal.
If you can't wait until November to score some major savings on toys from your wishlist, check out some of the biggest savings you can score right now...

The annual shopping event has gained significant traction over the last decade this side of the Atlantic, with many major UK stores offering substantial discounts on coveted new and classic toys.
The Black Friday toy sales for 2024 promise to be a treasure trove of savings, especially when you consider that lots of popular toys are stocked in major supermarkets, department stores, online retailers and specialist chains.
Some of the biggest toy trends for 2024 include retro toys making a comeback, with Argos reporting searches for Furby toys on its website are up by 237%.
Elsewhere we expect to see lots of toys based on children’s TV characters like Bluey and Cocomelon also featured in the Black Friday toy sales.
Black Friday is the perfect time to buy video games or gaming accessories.
With most major brands slashing prices during November, you can pick up old and new video games at a fraction of their normal price.
Black Friday is a great time to buy Christmas gifts for less and shoppers can expect price cuts on the latest video game releases and Game Pass subscriptions, in addition to Nintendo Switch, Playstation and Xbox console bundle deals, which often fly off the shelves.
Amazon, GAME, Very, Argos and Currys are all great places to search for video games and gaming deals, and most retailers will compete to offer the lowest prices, so savvy shoppers will be able to find the very best deals and the cheapest price for the items they want.
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online:
Cyber Monday 2024 falls on December 2 and is traditionally the online-only counterpart of Black Friday, taking place on the Monday that immediately follows.
Retailers taking part in Black Friday will almost certainly have a Cyber Monday sale, marking another chance to pick up some bargains ahead of Christmas.
Some shoppers like to chance it until Cyber Monday to see if prices will drop any further, but of course, it’s always a risk.
And over the last few years retailers have chosen to launch deals early and not lower prices throughout the sale.
However, we’d recommend that if you have your heart set on picking up a particular toy, you should snap it up as soon as the Black Friday sale lands to avoid disappointment.

BARGAIN hunters are raving about a new heated airer from Aldi that’s ‘cheaper than a tumble dryer’.
So with the weather all over the place, if you’re wondering how you will dry your clothes when winter arrives, you’ll need to check this out.
One savvy shopper was left beaming when browsing the aisles in her local Aldi, when she spotted the new ‘must-have laundry accessory’.
Thrilled with her find, which is priced at just £34.99, Madi Hanson took to social media to share it with others, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, a private Facebook group with 2.5 million members, Madi shared a snap of her new Ambiano buy – the Winged Heated Airer.
Alongside her post, she explained: “Out today in Aldi, 6p per hour but we gave Octopus EV tariff so 1/3 of the price per hour between 11.30-5.30 pm. Effectively economy 7 rebooted.
“A lot cheaper than a tumble dryer and folds flat for those with a small space.”
Madi confirmed that the heated airer, which was sold last winter but is now back in stores again, comes with a cover too.
She added: “Everyone raved about it last year hence getting one.”
So if you don’t have a washing line to hang out your clothes, or are worried about rising electricity bills, this bargain buy is one you won’t want to miss.
It’s functional and effective and will help you dry off your clothes in no time at all.
It’s big enough for towels and bedding, has 18 heated bars and is lightweight and foldable.
As well as this, it’s great for the colder months and even better, comes with a three year guarantee.
Madi’s post has clearly impressed many, as it was shared just five hours ago, but has quickly amassed almost 100 comments.
IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Social media users were gobsmacked with the high-street buy and many were keen to express this in the comments.
One person said: “I want.”
I brought one last year. Haven’t used my dryer since
Facebook user
Another tagged a loved one and added: “We’ll have to grab one of these for winter!”
At the same time, many Aldi fans confessed that they have been lucky enough to get their hands on the new heated airer.
One shopper commented: “I have one and couldn’t be without it in winter.
IF it's middle aisle buys that you're looking here, some of the new items you won't want to miss.
Shoppers recently went wild for Aldi’s new ‘pregnancy and menopause essential’ – and it’s only £6.99.
Garden enthusiasts raced to nab a £6.99 buy that will add style to any garden in an instant.
A £12.99 garden find left shoppers open-mouthed – but you’ll need to sprint to nab it.
If you’re looking to light up your garden this summer, you won’t want to miss this £8.99 solar light.
“I turn the clothes every hour or so for quickness but if I didn’t it would dry anyway, just takes a bit longer.”
A second chimed in: “I brought one last year. Haven’t used my dryer since.
“I also give my washing an extra spin. Then it doesn’t take clothes long to dry.”
Whilst someone else advised: “Just a tip, hang the clothes over two bars so there is a bigger gap in the middle and they’ll dry quicker.”
HELEN Chamberlain has revealed one celebrity guest regularly caused carnage on Soccer AM – because they refused to get out of bed.
The former Sky Sports host presented the popular morning show alongside Tim Lovejoy from 1996 to 2007.
Chamberlain and Lovejoy recently announced they are getting the cast back together for a new podcast.
The pair launched Soccer A-Z earlier this month, looking back at football fan culture and their time on the iconic Saturday morning program.
Discussing evasive guests during a recent episode, Chamberlain namedropped former boxer David Haye.
She laughed: “David Haye, the boxer, he didn’t not show up.
“But we would book him and would say ‘Your call time is 7.30am’.
“And he’d say ‘No, my call time is when I wake up and get there’.”
Haye unified the cruiserweight world title in 2008 and later became a heavyweight world champion.
But the now 43-year-old‘s timekeeping proved a huge issue with the Soccer AM production staff.

Chamberlain continued: “His interview used to be just floating.
“So it would be whenever he arrives, [production] would just go, right David Haye is here, and we go to a commercial break and then he’d be there.
“Sometimes he would be first guest, sometimes he would be last guest, and we never argued with him.
“He said ‘I will get there when I get there, I refuse to set my alarm’.”
Lovejoy laughed in response and pointed out: “Who is going to argue with him?”
The pair’s co-star Peter Dale – known as Tubes – was more scathing, adding: “Yeah, I’m not really having that. I don’t like that.”
Chamberlain left Soccer AM in 2017, a decade after Lovejoy departed the show.
It ran for another six years, before ending for good last May.
Chamberlain was excited for a trip down memory lane on Soccer A-Z, which has already topped the Apple podcast charts.
She explained: “I’m really looking forward to reminding Tim of all the absolute nonsense he thought up, and made us do during the Soccer AM days.
“I’m sure he’s forgotten most of it – luckily, the rest of us haven’t.
“We all have endless stories about putting that show together, and it’s going to be so good to catch up with some of the old crew and hear their best memories from both behind the scenes and in front of camera.”
ARSENAL fans rejoiced as their latest wonderkid became the Uefa Youth League’s youngest-ever goalscorer.
The Gunners were dealt an almighty blow on Wednesday when captain Martin Odegaard was ruled out for “a while” with an ankle injury.
But on Thursday, there was plenty of reason for celebration.
That is because teenage star Max Dowman was on the scoresheet for the Arsenal Under-19s away at Atalanta.
And in doing so, he broke the record as the youngest player to find the net in the competition.
England U17 international Dowman was aged just 14 years, eight months and 19 days when he fired home from a cross.
The attacking midfielder – born on December 31, 2009 – broke the previous record held by Borussia Dortmund sensation Youssoufa Moukoko, who was 14 years, 11 months and three days at the time of his first Youth League goal.
They are the only two players to have struck in the U19s tournament – a youth version of the Champions League.
Among the other youngest goalscorers is Ryan Gravenberch.
The Liverpool midfielder was just 15 years, four months and ten days old when he fired home for Ajax.

But Dowman’s effort bumps him out of the top five down to sixth on the list.
According to Scouted, Dowman also became the youngest-ever starter in the Youth League and second-youngest debutant against Atalanta.
And fans were quick to heap praise on the teenager for his impressive exploits.
One said: “Spectacular talent.”
Another wrote: “A proper baller.”
A third commented: “Max Dowman is truly a rising star! Excited to see what the future holds for him and the Arsenal academy!”
A fourth typed: “Another incoming wonderkid from Hale End.”
A fifth labelled him “Talent of the Century”.
A fifth added: “You just know he’s gonna be the youngest player starting for us in the premier league. I see him getting his debut within the next two years.”
And a final user replied: “He is following in the footsteps of Ethan Nwaneri.”
Nwaneri became the Premier League’s youngest player when he came on for the Gunners against Brentford in 2022.
The schoolkid was just 15 years and 181 days old when he made his senior debut in West London – and is now part of the first-team set-up under Mikel Arteta.
So much so that he was brought on in the closing minutes for Arsenal in Sunday’s North London Derby win at Tottenham to help see out victory.
However, despite Dowman’s success against Atalanta today, Arsenal supporters will be hoping there is no repeat of the scoreline when the senior sides face off in the Champions League.
The junior Italians ran out comfortable 4-1 winners – racing into a 3-0 lead by half-time before Dowman pulled one back early in the second and then the home side grabbed a fourth late on.
