505 Coupé/Cabriolet

[504V6Ti]

For those who do not know these models, initially envisaged for the US market...

They never went past prototypes, but a few examples were manufactured and are kept at the Peugeot Museum ( www.musee-peugeot.com/Front/index.aspx ) in France where a couple are on display:


According to a visitor who managed to get access to the warehouse were vehicles not displayed are kept, the prototypes would be fitted with the 2.2l Turbo injection engines, not the 2.8l PRV V6.





Pity they never went into mass production.

Indeed, all sorts of cars kept over there... Like a 305 with a 2.5 V6 PRV (same block as in the R25 V6 Turbo) but with carb if memory serves me right...

Space is not infinite at the Museum, so there is just a (not so small) number of cars they can display... But other interesting little-known Peugeot are shown like a 104 with a boot.

'afraid none are for sale, it's Peugeot's own heritage, like the last 504 manufactured in Nigeria in 2006. The Museum bought it back!

And if you looked here leverdie.club.fr/505Cab_Co/Auto-passion_1.htm , you could be forgiven for thinking it ain't without resemblance with the original BMW 6 series...
