Description
This car left the factory on March 31, 1970, destined for Sweden. Here it was received by the general agent Gjestvangs, reportedly the only one they imported. They had the car Tectyl-treated on April 14. It underwent its registration inspection on June 8. Then, on July 6, it was registered to Trelleborgs Bilcentral and received the registration number MA9759. According to reports, the intention was for the owner to keep it, but he was stopped on the street by a man who wanted to buy it, and so it went. On August 25 the deal was done and the car was registered in the man's wife's name. There, with the family in Malmö, it served for several years as a "second car" and daily driver. When the new license plates came in 1972/73, it received the registration number GAF 209. At the end of the 1970s, a son took over the car, and in connection with that the front fenders were replaced and some minor rust repairs were made to the rocker panels and the underside. At the same time, the car was repainted in dark blue. He drove it as a daily driver and was registered as the second owner in August 1983. After a few years it came to be driven less and less, and in the early 1990s it was put into storage at the family's business, having by then covered just over 104,000 km. The current owner, a Peugeot enthusiast, had at that same time begun searching for a 504 Cabriolet. He got wind of the car in Skåne, and after about a year he finally got the opportunity to buy it in January 1999. He flew down, picked it up, and drove it home to Stockholm. That was perhaps not a wise choice, considering it had been sitting for some time. The original 1.8 L engine began to run poorly around Jönköping, but it made it all the way home, after which a large pool of oil formed under the car and the engine gave up. A fine, suitable engine was tracked down—a newer 2.0L engine from a 1973 Berline. That engine was introduced for the 1971 model year. Fundamentally the same engine with Injection, but with a few more horsepower.
In connection with the engine swap, a new fuel tank was installed and a general overhaul was carried out. The car was then inspected in May 2000 at 106,390 km. In high spirits, the new owner and a friend then set off down to the Peugeot Museum in Sochaux in early June 2000 to take part in a large meet with over 500 Peugeot cars and some 50 motorcycles. The meet lasted three days and was a success; in total, just over 5,000 km were added to the odometer and the car ran beautifully. Back home, it was then driven to various events and meets. In 2007, the current owner decided to have the car repainted in its original color Rouge Andalou, along with some bodywork at the same time. Unfortunately, it was then left sitting in the countryside for an extended period, but in 2020–21 it was put back together, inspected, and rolled out onto the roads again. By then it had received a complete overhaul of the brake components as well as a general going-over of most of its functional systems. Recently, it received a new fuel pump and had a few hoses replaced. The odometer now reads 16,990 km, but the car has actually covered 116,990 km, as the odometer rolled over around 1986/87.
The car comes with various documents, including a certificate from Peugeot, inspection documents, receipts, inspection reports, registration, tax, and insurance papers, the original owner's manual in French, a technical description in Swedish, and various literature. Among other things, an original brochure in French and a feature article from the magazine Klassiker.
The car is exempt from inspection under current regulations, insured through MHRF, and ready to drive.

Condition

Mechanical condition
Starts easily and the engine ran smoothly. The starter motor clicked on occasion. During a short test drive on a smaller country road, it felt quick and lively, and everything including steering, clutch, gearbox, suspension/handling, and brakes worked well and without issue. The accelerator pedal came loose many years ago and is included. It has not been refitted, as the angle for the foot is more comfortable as it is now.
-
Interior condition
Something as unusual as original vinyl upholstery. There is some wear from use and minor damage. Fine door panels and trim as well as textile floor mats (the rubber originals were missing) that were installed in 1999. Peugeot rubber protective mats.
Fine dashboard with a small crack on the top. Steering wheel, controls, and gauges in fine condition, but the clock has given up. Working power windows, though they would benefit from some exercise and lubrication.
Working period radio -
Exterior condition
Repainted in 2007 and the paint is still in fine, glossy condition. There is a small scratch at the front of the fender on the driver's side, as well as some minor blistering (spray filler in a couple of small spots). Chrome and stainless trim in fine condition, moldings and emblems likewise. The door molding and the trim around the vent window on the passenger side have minor damage from a break-in attempt in the 80s. Glass in good condition, but the windshield has scratches from the wipers. The mohair soft top is new (purchased 2006) and was replaced at the time of installation a few years ago. It is fully functional but could be re-tensioned for a perfect fit. Fine Amil alloy wheels with older tires. Most of the light fixtures have been replaced with NOS, as have the Pininfarina emblems.

General condition
This French/Italian beauty, with lively performance, dependable and relatively easy-to-maintain Peugeot mechanicals, and beautiful lines by Pininfarina, with a unique and well-documented history in fine ready-to-drive condition, may be somewhat unknown at our latitudes. Nonetheless, it is a sought-after enthusiast and collector car.

Facts about the model
Since the start of its automobile production in 1889, Peugeot has launched everything from everyday cars to extravagant automobiles. This was also true for Sweden. The first car to arrive in Sweden in 1891 was in fact a Peugeot Typ. The royal family and Gustaf V drove, among others, a Peugeot Typ 28 from model year 1900. Over the years there have been various importers and general agents. Shortly before the Second World War, Gjestvangs took over from Philipsons. During the war there was, for obvious reasons, no business, and Peugeot's factories were partly in ruins at the end of the war. Gjestvangs eventually received a few cars, and the first to arrive was the small 202 model, which had been launched as early as 1938. Into the 1950s came both the 203 and 403 models. In addition to the standard Berline models, a trickle of 203 Convertibles and Coupes as well as 403 Convertibles also arrived. When Peugeot and Pininfarina developed their collaboration, the specially built 404 Convertible and Coupe versions also arrived in the early 1960s. These were partly built in Italy, where floor pans with firewalls, intended for the 404 Berline, were shipped. They were taken off the assembly line at the factories in Sochaux and sent by rail to Turin. There, the body was built and painted, and glass, brightwork and interior were fitted. Much of this was done by hand. Then back to Sochaux for installation of the engine and drivetrain, front and rear suspension, and other mechanical components, plus pre-delivery adjustment. Despite the high price of just over 25,000 kronor, close to 100 of these cars were sold — the 404 model was popular here as well. When the 504 model arrived for model year 1969 — incidentally Car of the Year — the 404 CC versions were succeeded by the new 504 CC versions. As before, they were built in Turin and Sochaux, with the difference that the floor pans were now slightly shortened compared to the Berline when they arrived in Italy. They were also only fitted with injection engines, first 1.8L and then 2.0L. In March 1969 these were presented, with relatively limited production in the first year. By September it was already time for model year 1970. These were considered too expensive in Sweden and essentially no cars were imported, as the price ended up well over 30,000 kronor. Of the Series I cars 1969 - 1974, reportedly one Convertible was imported in 1970, along with a batch of just over 20 Coupes in 1973. Due to the high price they were hard to sell. Although they were fine and comfortable Grand Routier automobiles, for that price there were other cars that we in Sweden prioritized. For model year 1975 came the Series II with modifications front and rear, but above all the PRV six was placed in the engine bay. Perhaps not perfectly timed, given the oil crisis. For model year 1978, the Convertible was only available with the 2.0L straight-four again. For the Coupe, one could choose between the two engines; none were imported to Sweden. When the Series III arrived in 1980 with new plastic bumpers, the same engine lineup continued. Model year 1983 was the last. No successor ever appeared among the subsequent models. Not until the sleek 406 Coupe was launched in 1997, now built entirely by Pininfarina in Turin. In total, 8,185 Peugeot 504 Convertibles were built 1969 - 1983, along with 26,629 Coupes.
A number of cars have been imported to Sweden over the years, but now some are leaving the country again. There are approximately 10 convertibles and just under twice as many coupes, of which about half are roadworthy.
