504 Pick up

Somewhat more robust than a P100.

A late model (for the UK at least) Peugeot 504 pick up.

Peugeot certainly got their money's worth out the 1968 launched 504 which carried parts from the 404. A saloon, coupe, cabriolet, estate, with several model differences, and of course the long lived truck we see here. An outside co even built 4x4 estates and pick ups.

Although 504 car production ended in 1983, having overlapped the 505, the pick up lived on until 1993 in Europe, and up to 2006 in Africa. The pick up was built in China until 2009 and even got a crew cab model built on a stretched estate platform.

Much of the 504 mechanicals carried over to the 505 too, also seeing service in the 604 and Tagora.

The diesel engines fitted to the 504 were used by quite a few other things too, notably the Granada MKII, Sierra, Tagora, Leyland Daf 400 and several more..

I can't remember the last time I saw one but I was pleased to see this still earning its keep..
