I was wondering if anyone would happen to have a photo taken at Regan Motors showroom that might include my red ex-Regan 605? Through Peugeot club contacts, I have found out that while it was stored out of the way downstairs for many years, it was displayed in the showroom for a period, maybe 5-10 years ago?
A Peugeot 605 isn't the sort of car that would be seared in one's memory, or considered much at all even by Peugeot enthusiasts. So I'm not really expecting anything here.
Many seem to know of this car, just hard to get much concrete info or stories about its early years or any pics. Did get to speak to a nice fellow who told me he worked at the dealership for a while maybe 10 years ago, and whose job it was to take it for a run occasionally. He couldn't tell me much more.
Internet searches and looking at old club mags online have not brought any result (except for a bit of chat here on Aussiefrogs a year or so ago). I can't find any Regan showroom pics pre the ownership takeover in around late 2019.
Next step is to try looking at classifieds in The Age, to see if perhaps it was advertised, but it seems hard to find for that era of The Age (pre-2006, at least). Plus I don't know its original rego no, it isn't written down anywhere (the fellow I bought it from had it on Vic club plates).
I have been trying to put together a list of how many of the 48 sold still might exist too. That's not looking good either! I know of 4 others running for sure, and about 3 wrecked/parts cars. Plus Patrick's SV24 private import, wrecked in 2007 (I'd love the wheels from that car, but long gone I bet!)
