The United Kingdom launch was on 8 June 2006. [[Amicus]] and the [[TGWU]], both [[trade union|unions]] representing workers at PSA's UK manufacturing plant in [[Ryton-on-Dunsmore|Ryton]], [[Coventry]], chose the same day to launch a campaign calling for the boycott of PSA's [[Peugeot]] and [[Citroën]] vehicles in the United Kingdom. The campaign was in protest against the company's plans to close the Ryton plant. Peugeot's United Kingdom sales grew, despite the resulting boycott.<ref>{{cite news |author=Mark Tran |title=Unions call for Peugeot boycott |date=2006-06-08 |url=http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,1793131,00.html |publisher=The Guardian }}</ref> ==Design and specification== The 207 was the successor to the [[Peugeot 206|206]]. The 207 was based on a modified version of the platform used for the [[Citroën C3]], and is built in Poissy (France), Madrid (Spain) and a new plant in [[Trnava]], [[Slovakia]]. Initially three petrol engines were available: 1.4-litre 8v with 75 or 16v {{Convert|90|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and 1.6-litre 16v with {{convert|110|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}. From late 2006, the 1.4 & 1.6 16v models were replaced by the new 1.4 vti {{convert|95|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} and 1.6 vti a {{convert|120|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} [[Valvetronic]] engines. Two [[turbocharged]] and [[intercooler|intercooled]] versions, one with {{convert|150|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}, and the other with {{convert|175|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} were also added to the range. The [[Prince engine|latter four engines]] result from the cooperation agreement between PSA and the [[BMW]] group; and can also be found in the Mini Cooper S. The diesel-powered engines available are a 1.4 litre {{Convert|70|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} or a 1.6 litre HDi with maximum output of 90 or {{Convert|110|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, the latter with the addition of an [[intercooler]]. The 207 was available as a three- or five-door [[hatchback]], a 207 SW [[Station Wagon]] a 207 [[coupé]], and the 207 convertible coupe (207 CC), which was launched in 2007<ref name="PSA Annual Report 2012"/> as a replacement for the ageing [[Peugeot 206#206 CC|206 CC]] [[retractable hardtop]] with engine choice limited to either the 1.6l HDi or 1.6l Vti. A GTI (or RC in some markets) version was also available, with the THP175 {{convert|175|hp|abbr=on}} [[turbocharger|turbocharged]] 1.6 litre engine. A GT (or Limitee) version is also available, but is only sold with the THP150 {{convert|150|hp|abbr=on}} [[turbocharger|turbocharged]] 1.6 litre engine, and also features a glass roof. Both the GTI and GT versions are sold exclusively with manual gearboxes. In [[Malaysia]], the 207 is exclusively offered as a coupe and a four-door sedan variants instead of the hatchback version sold in Europe, and is also exported to other countries in the region such as [[Indonesia]], [[Thailand]], [[Brunei]] and [[Sri Lanka]]. The car was facelifted in July 2009. It was given a new grille design similar to that of the facelifted 307 and LED lights on the rear. Some engine management software changes were also made, boosting the power of the GTI from {{convert|175|hp|abbr=on}} to {{convert|184|hp|abbr=on}}. <gallery widths="200px" heights="150px"> File:Peugeot 207 3-Türer front.JPG|Peugeot 207 3-door hatchback File:20130531-peugeot-207-5door-a-abrimaal.jpg|Peugeot 207 5-door hatchback File:Peugeot 207 CC (Facelift) – Frontansicht, 31.

With only 2000 units produced, the 207 Le Mans Series was distinguished on the outside with a sport front bumper with Shadow aluminium grille and Black Chrome headlights. The body side moldings, bumpers strips and sideview mirror housings were painted body color, while a long racing stripe got trimmed along the bonnet, roof, and rear spoiler. Other decal accents included a Peugeot logo, striping on the doors and Le Mans logos on the liftgate. Also special multispoke 17-inch Pitlane aluminium wheels set the tone of the vehicle. Exterior colours were Banquise White and Obsidien Black. Carried over from the 207 RC, the interior received grinium finish decor with front and rear bucket seats as well as RC front and rear mat covers. The steering wheel too, with a granium finish ring and numbered from 1 to 2000. The gearshift lever knob, pedal assembly, foot rest and door sill are in aluminium. Three engines were available with the 207 Le Mans Series. Starting with the 1.6 HDi 16v 110&nbsp;hp DPFS and 1.6 THP150 16v 150&nbsp;hp engines each of which receive a chrome-plated single exhaust pipe. The top 1.6 THP175 16v 175&nbsp;hp receives a chrome-plated dual exhaust pipe. ==Reception== The Peugeot 207 met with somewhat mixed reviews, facing criticism for the design of its interior, for the quality of its gearbox, and for the vagueness of its handling, with the latter two extending even to the GTI version.<ref>[http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/peugeot/207]</ref><ref>http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/peugeot/207</ref> In the words of ''Autocar magazine'', "the Peugeot 207 hatchback is safely-played and as such lacks charm, verve and difference". It did receive wide praise for its value, safety and styling, however, and proved reliable despite initial fears from reviewers.<ref>[http://www.reliabilityindex.com/reliability/search/156]</ref> Moreover, the CC version was better received, with ''Top Gear'' motoring magazine describing it as "a decent new version of one of the originals...of the tin-top cabrio breed".<ref>[http://www.topgear.com/uk/peugeot/207-cc]</ref> Despite this lack of acclaim, it has sold well in Britain, being the sixth best selling car overall (and third in the supermini sector) in 2007 with more than 67,000 examples being sold.<ref name="economicnews.ca">{{cite web|url=http://www.economicnews.ca/cepnews/wire/article/38779|title=Rising UK Popularity of Diesel Cars Reflected in Year-End Sales Figures for 2007|accessdate=2008-05-26|work=economicnews.ca}}</ref> ==Concept cars== ===207 RCup=== [[File:Krum donchev.JPG|150px|right|thumb|Prista Oil Peugeot 207 S2000]] At the 2006 [[Geneva Motor Show]] Peugeot also unveiled a sporty [[concept car]] based on the 207 and badged as the '''207 RCup'''.
