1971 PEUGEOT 504 CABRIOLET - Lot 80

1971 PEUGEOT 504 CABRIOLET No reserve - Italian certificate of circulation - Serial no. 504B021167307 - Same owner for 30 years - To be overhauled - Sold without technical inspection In 1968, Peugeot unveiled the 504, its new flagship sedan. The following year, the brand renewed its collaboration with Pininfarina to design coupe and cabriolet versions of the 504. The Italian coachbuilder distinguished himself by creating a unique model, sharing no body parts with the sedan. At launch, the cabriolet was powered by the sedan's 1.8-liter, fuel-injected 4-cylinder engine. This engine was soon replaced by a 2-liter unit. In 1974, the V6 PRV made its appearance, displacing all previous engines, much to the dismay of some customers. Faced with this reaction, Peugeot reintroduced the more accessible, reliable and economical 4-cylinder in 1978. Registered in Milan in 1971, this car was subsequently acquired by its second owner, a resident of Mantova, and today bears a Mantova license plate. It was purchased in 1996 by the current owner. The 504 had been completely repainted by the previous owner, the seller tells us; the interior is original, with the exception of the driver's seat, redone by a specialist upholsterer who used the original Pininfarina material, worn to the point of being almost indistinguishable from the other seats (no invoice). The original rubber mats and carpet are well preserved. The 504 will be sold with its original soft top and tools. Still parked indoors, it has been on display at the Galerie Peugeot since 2006. A mechanical overhaul will be necessary before it is put back on the road. 1971 PEUGEOT 504 CABRIOLET - Italian roadworthiness certificate - Serial number 504B021167307 - Same owner for 30 years - Needs servicing - Sold without MOT In 1968, Peugeot unveiled the 504, its new iconic saloon car.
