Firstly, my apologies for what I know will most likely be a total waste of bandwidth. I don't mean it to be...
I could put this in the '604 register', but this I feel is a more general topic, given I don't (yet) have a 604 (again) to add to the register.
I run a C5 X7 as my 'daily' (I don't need a car to drive daily because I work from home, so perhaps it should be, 'my car when I need to go somewhere'?) but have a classic on H plates (not a Frog) that I just am not getting into anymore. I keep putting it off, but I will put it up for sale in a few months. That leaves the garage space free for something else...
After all these years I still want a Peugeot 604, but preferably not an Australian-delivered SL Solex carby car with all its problems. So that leaves the private imports (or a late local Weber car?), of which there would be... not many.
I owned (in 1988-89) a dark blue UK-import 1979 604 Ti auto in the ACT, had been re-sprayed but v rusty underneath. I saw around that time at a Peugeot gathering in Canberra a NSW-rego light-blue GTi that was in really good condition. That was 30 years ago though...
Anyone know of any really nice 604s for sale? I know of the green SL auto in SA, but still hoping for lower-kilometre UK or Euro-spec GTi or STI. Are the 604s as I described tightly held... or simply no longer exist here?
I am still tempted to save my pennies and take a family holiday to Europe, swing by France and nab a nice 604 GTi manual with sunroof and /ac off Le Bon Coin, drive it around a bit and ship it back. It would be such a waste of money (604s are and always be worth v little here) but god it would be fun.
