Africa's Workhorse- Peugeot 504 Review.
Рет қаралды 3,368
2 жыл бұрынA car that was fast enough such that bank robbers preferred it, it was super reliable, it had a high status, this car is the Peugeot 504, the Lion of Africa, Africa's Workhorse. The most common engine option available in the Kenyan market is the 1800cc petrol coupled to the 5 speed manual, a very tough and reliable power train. Would this car still make a good and sensible choice today? Lets find out in this video.

GL, Ti models were 2000cc carb and injection with super all wheel disc brakes and independent suspension. The L, GR, Sr were 1800cc with solid rear axle from 404 and rear drum brakes.

Yes the performance oriented variants were specced with disc brakes all around and were faster and engaging than the ones with basic engine options that had drums at the back

I bought the 504 break, did the restoration, it's very nice then recently I just bought a 504 sedan both diesel both for Speed. Both USA models and cars here in the United States. Once you restore one it's your obligation to restore another. Because you understand the car.

Glad to know that, and I agree, once you restore one it almost becomes a culture, it feels incredible bringing these special cars back to life. Keep it up

King of the African Roads... Try driving the 504 GL. It has the 2.0L engine (1971cc), all round disc brakes, drive shafts on the rear wheels plus independent suspension. That's why it's very comfortable and tireless on long journeys.

Yes indeed its better and something different from the normal 1600cc and 1800cc. Its a gem.

A 1NZ FE swap would do good for performance and fuel economy

Absolutely, I've seen people install even automatic transmissions especially for those who are not good with manual gearboxes
