Curator’s note

The tough Pininfarina-styled saloon that conquered African roads and the Safari Rally.

The 504 was Peugeot’s robust mid-size saloon, styled by Pininfarina and praised for its ride and strength. Its toughness made it a favourite across Africa, and Ove Andersson and Arne Hertz drove one to victory on the 1975 Safari Rally.

The story

Peugeot 504

Peugeot launched the 504 in 1968. Aldo Brovarone of Pininfarina styled the saloon, and its long-travel suspension and strong construction suited poor roads as well as motorways.

The TI used a 2.0-litre engine with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. European production ended in 1983, but the 504 was assembled in Africa and South America for many years after.
