I would encourage anyone who has an interest in French cars to stop by the All French day on July 17. It is free for spectators, $10 if you want to enter a car.

I'll be there, most likely with my TA.

There's plenty of time for Jerry to do some magic on your Puglet!
The Alfa won't be there much longer

Possibly - at the moment the steering column and the dash are out so I can replace the heater matrix ....

Hope to see a few of you there on Sunday. I will have my TA there, my DS is currently unreg as it will go on historic rego one I get the form signed by the club plate registrar this Sunday.

I always thoroughly enjoy this day at Silverwater - quite a beautiful venue in its own right , and the cars certainly add to the atmosphere. Have. not felt 100 per cent right in the last few days, but will certainly endeavour to make it.

I really would like to have another, close look, at the latest DS5. Simply a beautiful car. Regards. Styria

Hope you're feeling better Styria

Styria how are you going feeling any better?

Perhaps these 'shiny', chrome wheel arches will make you feel better?


All the best to you Styria see you at the Concours in September?

Cheers.

Hi Bryce terrific photos thank you for posting.

Was there any 604 Pugs at this years All French Day I have a soft spot for 604 & 505 Pugs.

The 1972 304s convertible Pug is superb.

I remember seeing James May driving a green 304 Pug featured on an episode of TG, it was a green coloured car.

I don't recall any but its not a car that holds a lot of interest for me so I didn't seek one out either. 505s were there of course.

I like the earlier cars although I don't know a great deal about them.

Fair enough Bryce.

We had a few 604 Pugs as nice as the French leather seats were the engine was another story!


I believe was and please tell me if I am wrong but Volvo was the company who installed the 6cyl engines in the 604 Pugs?

I would imagine it used the PRV v6, a joint venture between volvo, renault and peugeot

This engine was also used in the delorean

Thank you for the info Bryce about the PRV V6 and also about the Delorean.
