Yarra Valley Run to watch Austin 7 eventsunday 14 august

The Austin 7 Club spends odd Sundays, and it is quite odd, trying to drive through courses set out over varying terrain, logs, creeks, large holes, hills up and down,

finishing the day with an attempt to drive through a dam, deeper than the car is high. The afternoon will be exciting to watch so long as you stand clear when the water sprays everywhere off the wheels of their specially built vehicles.

The venue is located between yarra Glen & Healesville, it’s free entry to watch and we need to arrive about 12.30 pm just before the afternoon competition starts. That way a few tickets in the meat raffle will still be available to purchase. Bring gum boots as I’m told It’s a 100 meter walk through a grassy paddock to view the .action.

I’ll meet all of you at the Warrandyte Bakery from 11am, Sunday 14 August, with my 403. We then leave in convoy at 12 midday for a pleasant drive through the yarra Valley to the venue. This drive will be suitable for any modern car. The Bakery is located riverside between the hotel and roundabout/bridge on Warrandyte Rd. The Trial venue is at 79 Whelans Road Healesville in case you can’t make it to our meet up place in Warrandyte at The Bakery for coffee & pies etc. No food will be available at venue. All these locations are in the suburban Melways in case you want to meet us along the way.

Please come along for the pleasant Sunday drive and watch people enjoying the bush in an odd way. More info: Phil Torode phil@bidwriter.com.au Ph. 0432 107 301

Milton’s Meander saturday 17 september

once again I’ll be putting together a meander as a prelude to the Club day at DECA on Sunday 18 Sept.

The meeting point will be the BP Service Station on Cooper St just off the Hume Freeway. Melways 181 D11. Arrival at 9.15 for a 10-ish start.

There will be various options for lunch at the town we stop in and the meander will arrive in Shepparton in plenty of time for people to return to Melbourne.

Those staying the night will meet as usual at the Terminus Hotel for dinner.

Milton Grant 0419 406 056

In keeping with requests from members to organise Sunday outings in different parts of Melbourne, we have decided to head to Williamstown on Port Phillip Bay for

something a bit different.

originally Melbourne’s first sea port, Williamstown has developed from what was a neglected, industrialised centre into a popular and fashionable maritime village.

To make things a little simpler, I have planned points of interest within easy walking distance on Nelson Place. There is ample metered parking (4 hours) along Nelson Place, as well as free parking at Park & Ride on Williamstown Beach, the Anchorage Marina and the Botanic Gardens at the corner of Giffard and osborne Streets. The Police Station is also located on Nelson Place and there is free parking around there as well.

We will meet for coffee and/or breakfast at Cafe Cirino, 133 Nelson Place at 10am. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and they can accommodate groups of people with a little notice in advance.

After coffee, the Williamstown Craft Market (located in the Historic Commonwealth Reserve in Nelson Place) offers 70 – 100 stalls on the water’s edge with an incredible range of handmade goods and home-grown produce, with live music and numerous food vendors. There are also plenty of interesting shops to explore along Nelson Place.

If the market is not your thing, you might like to go and explore HMAS Castlemaine which is berthed nearby on Gem Pier. Built in Victoria in 1941, HMAS Castlemaine is one of the sixty Australian-built Bathurst Class corvettes to serve throughout World War II, and is the last such vessel still afloat.

This magnificent vessel has been restored by the Maritime Trust to become the floating museum and naval memorial that she is today. Situated at Gem Pier, the on-board museum includes artefacts of early steam and sailing vessels, evidence of the first formally arranged coastal trade in Victoria and of course, Navy shipbuilding and everyday life in those times. Admission is $6 for adults. Guided tours are usually available. It will take about an hour to visit all compartments of the ship. Appropriate footwear is required so high heels and thongs are OUT.

We will then meet up for lunch at The Customs House Hotel, (across the road from Gem Pier and overlooking the Commonwealth Reserve where the market is located) for lunch at 12.30pm. The hotel offers light meals, traditional pub food at reasonable prices, or an A La Carte menu if that is your preference.

There are various other places of interest in Williamstown if you need to see more.

I will need to make approximate bookings for coffee and lunch so please let me know ASAP if you are interested in attending this outing at vsgmjk@bigpond.com or call me on 9728 3096.

The organisers are aware of the distance most competitors drive and always finish the event by mid-afternoon, allowing Victorians time to get home. Supplementary Regulations with details of venue address and start time will be available on VMC website.

new pCCV Competition YearThe PCCV competition year starts on the 1st July each year. Trophies for the 2015/16 year will probably be presented at the December meeting. Events are now scoring for the 2016/17 year. All PCCV competitors driving a Peugeot are eligible for PCCV Championship points in all CAMS approved events. Points for the Ladies, Gents and Junior Championships are awarded to PCCV members who officiate at any PCCV run competitive event. Also, L,G&J points are awarded to PCCV competitors in any CAMS approved event (other than State and Australian Championship events) that requires only a CAMS non-speed competition licence. Should we continue to exclude Championship events from the L,G&J Championships? These events require only a non-speed competition licence and the driving format is the same as a non-championship event. Competitors, please send your thoughts to gladfish@netspace.net.au.

The Annual Concours d’Elegance award is difficult for the club scorer as these events do not have results acknowledging all participants. The PCCV Committee is reviewing how this award is to be decided. once again your ideas would be appreciated, as this is your club.

Featuring vintage, veteran and current day models of French car marques.

Also dealer displays, music performances, French cooking displays, food and coffee stalls, car detailing demonstrations, merchandise stalls, raffles and on-site Tavern.

how to get more involved in the pCCV?

Write something for Torque

You don’t have to be a pulitzer prize winner to contribute to torque, just be enthusiastic and well

informed.many articles that have appeared in the mag in the past have been written by ordinary people with a story to tell. think of the late bruce tayler, a superb mechanic who could express himself well at meetings or in torque.there are dozens of people in our club whose knowledge of peugeots is astounding.occasionally we will hear someone describe a very technical matter in clear and simple terms and we think “i wish i could express myself as well as that.”these are the people we need to share their wealth of knowledge with other club members.as an example, take a look at ivan washington’s article on ballast resistors in last month’s torque. it’s a technical matter expressed in plain language that anyone can understand.if you have a technical matter that you can contribute to torque, please do so.or you might like to write a report on a recent peugeot trip (such as tim hall’s account of a tasmanian sojourn in the 505 gti wagon, seen in torque 0716).Some people write articles that don’t refer to peugeots at all, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t of interest to peugeot people. for example, peter kerr contributed a two-part article on being part of a pit crew for a fiat abarth in targa tasmania.the main thing is to tell your story as clearly as possible so we can all read and enjoy it.So please put your thinking cap on and make a contribution.

TORQUETHE PEUGEOT CAR CLUB OF VICTORIA

August Torque – brought to you by these membersMany thanks to the following members and friends who have generously contributed to this issue of Torque.

paul watson, allan horsley, neil beddoe, milton grant, val gibson, peter cusworth, glad fish, tim hall, doug brockfield, colin cameron, greg winkley, Simon craig and peter wilson.

The Editor’s Desktop

We were a bit light on for material for this month’s Torque so I’ve included

a couple of extra articles sourced from NSW’s magazine, The Pugilist – thanks to Simon Craig and Peter Wilson.

So the request for member assistance printed above is even more pertinent, so make sure you think of writing an article or sending in some photos for us all to enjoy in Torque.

Thanks to Doug Brockfield who provided the cover photo taking a photo of his own car in an interesting situation. Please think of doing likewise with your car. Make sure you have your camera on the highest resolution setting though as we need a large file for use on the cover.

I have an article to use next month from Peter Kerr on the development of the Miller engines in the early 1900s, which will follow on well from Peter Wilson’s second installment, this month, on the Peugeot Indianapolis victories.

I have been spending many hours watching the Tour de France and while it is not the Peugeot spotting exercise it once was, it is still a fantastic travelogue of France especially for cycling fans.

Peter Cusworth

c L U B T O R Q U E

It is common for testers in Geelong to take the learner to such an intersection and, at the Stop sign (A in the diagram), asking them to make a right-hand turn. It the learner moves to the median strip area and stops, the tester will fail the learner.

Why? Because at an intersection governed by Stop or Give Way signs, you must not impede any traffic, even traffic turning into the side street (B). And by stopping in the median strip area, you are potentially blocking the path of turning traffic.

Another situation was raised by Allan Horsley. See diagram 2 and nominate in which order the vehicles proceed.

The answer is B, then A, then C. This is because C must give way to B and A, A must give way to B, and C must give way at the Give Way sign and to all other traffic because it is making a right turn.

The Road Safety Quizpaul Watson

At the July meeting we had the Road Safety Quiz, which was well received

by the members present.

There were 20 questions and only one person got them all right: Denis Tolo. He won two bottles of excellent Margaret River wine for his efforts.

Various questions created discussion among members, some of whom were amazed by answers relating to the way learner drivers are taught these days.

For example, learners are taught to do a head check when changing lanes or crossing a bike lane. A head check involves swivelling the head so you can see vehicles (including bikes) in the blind spots.

one matter that was not in the quiz but sometimes catches out learners on their licence test is the rules for giving way to traffic at an intersection where the road being crossed has a median strip. See diagram 1.

Presidential torqueApologies first regards my absence from the July

meeting. I had taken on obligations with the voting Pre-poll and on Election Day and it became clear that a trip to Melbourne could not fit the requirement to set up on the Friday night for the Saturday and a very early start / long day. I was indeed sorry to miss Paul Watson’s “Road Rules Quiz” (an interest for us all involved with the L2P Mentor Driving Program) and grateful for Allan taking over at short notice upon his return from o/S. The Quiz was well received by those who attended and all members can have a go later in this issue.

our August meeting is to have one of our own, Jenni Farmilo speaking on her recent trip to the “Wilds of Africa” in company with a group of students from her school. With the topic and speaker it is aimed to invite spouses and partners, with additional focus being given to the pre meeting BBQ and supper afterwards. Please make and take up this invitation, come along and enjoy. Talking about the BBQ it is worth mentioning that those who use it need to ensure that it is cleaned thoroughly after its last use (better done whilst still warm). Thanks for your cooperation.

The program of events / activities has now been fleshed out for the rest of the year with Scott Pedder coming in September to talk about the ARC and his 308 Rally car. I will unfortunately be away for this presentation due to being support on a “Postie Bike Ride for Prostate Cancer”, Hobart to Cairns. This is being organised by David McAdam and he will speak about the adventure and presumably some of the tribulations encountered on this 21 day challenge at the october meeting.

In November we will have the AGM following the General Meeting, and intend to run some footage of memorable Peugeot achievements, for instance Pikes Peak – “Climb Dance” with the 405 T16 and more recently Sébastien Loeb with the 308 PP Special build specifically for the event. Both record breaking experiences. once again we would like all members to consider an involvement in PCCV, either on or off the Committee, since new ideas are always welcome and help to provide a program of interesting activities for members.

As a result of the above the Committee has agreed to move the traditional “Awards Night” to the December meeting and to have a broader perspective to that meeting allowing for Daylight Saving. The Christmas BBQ will again follow on the Sunday at PI, with all members, family and friends invited.

The Committee spent some time at its last meeting debating the success (or otherwise) of recent Voyage Petite / Le Chat’s and examining options. If you have any suggestions please advise Val or Allan.

July 14 was Bastille Day and celebration of the event has been restored with a lunch on the following Sunday. This previously was a major focus in the PCCV calendar and this event was fully booked. We have the Worm Weekend coming up at the end of July in Bendigo and a Voyage Petite to Williamstown (the market will be operating on the day) in August. We will visit Shepparton in September with Milton’s Meander on Saturday and DECA (on the Skid Pan) on the Sunday and in october there is the French Car Festival (by Citroen CC) at the Seaworks Museum. Refer Calendar for details of these and multiple competition events to enjoy.

Club permit scheme concerns

dear Editor

I noticed in your July edition that consideration is being given by our

committee of the possible requirement of members with vehicles on club plates to attend a minimum number of club events.

I do so hope our club does not go down this path. If we do, I for one would not be able to sustain my membership. Here is my situation.

I live in the remote location of Gipsy Point near Mallacoota in far east Gippsland and I own the Gordon Miller green 203. Every week I drive ‘Marcel’ to Mallacoota – a round trip of 40kms. Never any further have we gone. Club events are usually far too far away for us to even contemplate going and it’s not just the car I’m worried about, it’s me! Long travel is not my thing and nor are overnight stays away. Attending club events is, as a rule, not an option for me.

I do however enjoy the fellowship of the club by way of Torque and phone contact with other members.

There must be others in a similar circumstance and it would be a great shame if we were excluded, not just for us, but dare I say, for the club as well.

Cheers

Roger Rumbottle and Marcel

CorrespondenceThis year’s Classic outback Trial was

conducted from June 18-24 in the Northern Territory, based at Alice Springs.

over the six days of competition, some 2,200 kilometres was covered. Cars competed over a vast variety of roads and tracks ranging from fast smooth sandy cattle station roads to steep tight and hilly tracks through the rugged MacDonnell Ranges. Each day’s competition consisted of loops from and back to Alice Springs.

over 50 cars were entered with most entries in the “Classic” section. Three Peugeots were entered with the 504 of

Andy Crane and Dave Anderson coming in an excellent 2nd place despite giving away 14 years to the winning Nissan Gazelle. PCCV’s own Graham Wallis and Brian Ward also did well coming in 11th place in their little 205.

Tim and Bruce Shepherd in a 505 GTi were well up in the results until an “off” and the damage sustained resulted in several missed controls. They still managed to finish in 31st place.

We hope to have a more detailed report from Brian Ward next month after he returns from Hank’s outback trip.

The NSW French Car Festival was held on Sunday 17 July at Silverwater Park in Sydney.

Numbers were down because it looked a dour damp wintry day, but we had a line of five French veterans for the first time.

There was a sprinkle of rain early in the morning and it remained overcast for a while. Then the sun came out and some folk were wishing they were wearing shorts.

A member rounded up the biggest 205 GTi line-up we have had for many years and Peugeot Australia’s 205 GTi, now spruced up for the press fleet with new paint and powder coated wheels, trumped them for the class award.

The car was purchased for the press launch of the 208 GTi and then looked a little tired in the paintwork after a long time in the WA sun.

The interior is schmick original and the engine is in good order.

Even with Peugeot’s global parts resources on tap, they had a few problems getting Australian-specific parts for the model and resorted to 3D printing to replace the aircon control spindle behind the dash.

The plastic valance on the rear beaver says “Peugeot 205” and they are looking for a “Peugeot 205 GTi” one.

Anton okorn’s 504 Ti cabriolet made its debut to much admiration. The project took 11 years and four days from purchase to registration.

What has Kodak to do with cars?

As soon as Christmas is over, columnists start watching for the

first appearance of Easter eggs in supermarkets. It doesn’t take long.

The early egg syndrome seems to affect Australia’s new car market as well and spruiking of end-of-year sales offers begins well ahead of June as the big brands try to jump the gun before competitors begin their campaigns.

Peugeot got off the mark early with sharp pricing on many models and five-year warranties as it moved to run out the RCZs, clear other old stocks and regain volume.

Its March deliveries of 385 units were the best since June last year, almost as good with 365 in April, but fell in May to 234. In June – normally the year’s biggest selling month – the 354 new registrations were only enough to rate as the third best month of the year.

It was way down on the 504 units in June 2015. In fact it was the most disappointing June result since Sime Darby took over the distributorship.

The six-month tally of 1,989 deliveries was trailing the 2015 first half by 437.

However, an encouraging sign was a big increase in 308s on new plates, the 153 being well above this year’s monthly average of 128.

June also saw increased interest in the 2008 with 51 units being double the May result and the best for 12 months.

2015 406 405 405 401 305 504 2426

What might turn out to be the final shipment from Japan of 4008s is due soon. Demand for the model is slowing and the 394 units in the first six months is down on the 505 in the same period last year.

The RCZ runout continued but it is harder to find the model on sale and 41 have been cleared in the year to June.

Despite the federal election, the national market boomed and total new registrations were up 2 per cent to make it a record June with 128,569 vehicles.

The official VFACTS data shows it was a skewed result because of a relatively large 16 per cent increase in business buying in the first six months and a fall in private buying compared with the previous June.

This year’s trend continued of passenger car sales falling as buyers switch to SuVs and to light commercials; twin cabs have

made utes more versatile for work and family rides.

In the first six months, passenger sales were down 5 per cent, SuVs up 11 per cent and commercials up 10 per cent.

Peugeot Automobiles Australia’s Tyson Bowen warned against comparing the Peugeot result with the national trend.

“The market increased in segments where Peugeot does not currently have an offering – specifically light commercial vehicles, people movers and sports cars,” he said in an email.

Peugeot is No. 24 on the brand chart, ahead of many others, and is not alone in taking a hit. Holden and Volkswagen are down 7 per cent, Renault 19 per cent, Fiat 49 per cent, Citroën 21 per cent, Ferrari 5 per cent and Jeep with its consumer issues 51 per cent.

The Koreans are the winners. once their new cars were returned to the dealer for loose nuts and bolts to be tightened. Now they have the advantages of better style, quality, astute trade deal pricing, e.g., the i30 at $19,990 with free auto.

Quality? Kia topped the latest uS J D Power survey of new car buyer satisfaction while Mercedes was among the dunces.

For the fourth month in succession the Hyundai i30 was Australia’s most popular model, with an outstanding 6,432 registrations in June and beating the Toyota HiLux for the year-to-date with a 45 per cent rise to 22,857 units. And that is before its end-of-year runout.

Further back in the road were the Corolla, down 6 per cent at 20,857 for the first half, and Mazda3, down 2 per cent at 29,008.

Toyota lost market share but remained market leader ahead of Mazda and Hyundai.

Another Chinese brand has turned up.

That’s a problem with the auto market now. There is just so much choice. So many brands each with a model range and choice galore.

We live in an age of disruption, according to Inside Story social commentator Tim Coleback.

Disruption is a phenomenon experienced in many areas of business, politics, news media, sport, the arts, everything, he says.

A simple example is TV. Thirty years ago you had a choice of five channels. Now you’ve got programmes from TV, cable, catch-up services and streaming sites.

Newspaper sales have fallen off. News can be picked up instantly from radio, TV, cable or the net.

In politics the two-party duopoly has been challenged. In 1951 397 candidates sought election to 181 federal seats. This year 1,623 candidates challenged for 226 seats and with so much choice the final results were surprising.

The disruption revolution is spreading to many aspects of society.

Big changes are afoot in the European auto industry as it moves beyond seeking profits from making, selling and financing vehicles to getting into the mobility business. Not just Peugeot.

uber is now worth more than mighty General Motors, according to the trade press. Everyone realises a slice of the driving action offers profits.

Ford of Europe’s Barb Samardzick to Automotive News Europe that auto makers face dangers like those of Kodak and Polaroid. “They didn’t see digital cameras coming. We don’t want to be left behind like that.”

Ford is testing car sharing in London. The Peugeot group has cited car sharing as a practical way to enter the uS market and has some services in European cities. BMW has half a million customers in nine European cities while Daimler claims a million users of 13,000 Smarts in 30 European and North American cities.

Through a Clover Moore initiative the City of Sydney has 30,000 residents – more than 10 per cent of its households – signed up for its car share scheme of 670 small cars and vans. These are indeed disruptive times.

Powerful trend: A Peugeot iOn charging at a car-share site in Nice. Automakers are trying to get a slice of this travel action.

Trip Two: The Deserts

With six weeks of leave commencing at Easter time, we loosely planned

a trip north to Birdsville via the Flinders Ranges, taking in Longreach and Carnarvon Gorge on the way home. This time the trailer had to be taken, as we needed more water than we could carry in the car alone. In the end we travelled to; Grampians, Hattah Kulkyne, Adelaide, Wilpena Pound, Arkaroola, Blinman (an historic copper mining town), Birdsville Track, Winton, Longreach, Carnarvon Gorge, Newcastle and Cohuna. About 8500km in distance.

Given the issues with the lower radiator hose, I had a part made that fixed the problem. I got a local bloke to make a piece out of stainless steel that has a bend of approximately 150 and a diameter change from 32 to 38mm. It cost me a bit, but works a treat. Having already had it manufactured, I went to my local parts supplier and he said ‘wait a minute, I think I can get the correct hose for you.’ It turns out that Mackay hoses does manufacture a hose for a 505 GTI, but (unless they have fixed it) the design is incorrect. The final bend is the correct angle, but points in the wrong direction.

I also knew that there was a ‘clunk’ every time the rear wheels hit a pothole and I thought it was shock absorbers or bushes in the back. I put new bushes in the rear sway bar linkages, but the rear struts seemed fine, so I wasn’t sure what the issue was. In the true way of the amateur, wait for it to get worse and fix it then…

As always, there are pros and cons in tyre choices. I ran truck tyres on the trailer, but Michelins on the car. I know Hank recommends light truck tyres, but a fair bit of what we were doing was on sealed roads. As a compromise I took two spares for the car and mounted one of them on

the drawbar of the trailer. I did damage one tyre on the road in to Arkaroola, and then I let the tyre pressures down and had no further problems. I had the tyre replaced at Angorichina village with the only thing that was close (195/65R14 instead of 195/70). Not much option and I needed a spare before we started on the Birdsville Track.

The roads around Arkaroola were the roughest we saw for the trip. Driving in to Chambers Gorge to look at Aboriginal rock carvings was particularly interesting - 20 minutes to do 9km. In contrast the Birdsville Track was pretty good – it had just been graded after the summer rains that had closed the track.

North of Birdsville, we were diverted around Lake Machattie. A small detour (in Queensland terms) of 90km. on that road I hit a rock and swiped the rubber fuel hose off the metal fuel line near the fuel filter. The car just stopped. Quickest fix ever, with Naomi diagnosing the problem (‘I smell petrol’) and a new hose clamp fitted in about 10 minutes. Easy!

The bigger problem was at the Middleton Hotel, which is an old Cobb Arkaroola Campsite

& Co changing station in the middle of nowhere. With the water warning light coming on 200m past the pub, the timing of which we are very grateful for, we stopped for a look and diagnosed a dead bearing in the water pump. So we

phoned the ‘service crew’ (RACV / RACQ) and organised a tow into Winton. We spent a bit of time at the Middleton pub and are very grateful to the publican, who let us use his phone and entertained us and the kids for a fair while. The

RACQ agent (and mechanic) in Winton was fantastic. Middleton is very remote, so it was about three hours before we were rescued and two hours back to Winton. They even gave us a loan of a Tarago to get us around town for a few days. Because of the weekend, it took five days for the new water pump, timing belt and tensioner to arrive and be fitted. Hayden and Shinny from Pugwreck were fabulous, with parts in the post very promptly and good knowledge of what was needed. Winton was a stop we were looking at anyway, with two very famous dinosaur museums nearby. Mind you, two days would have been enough and we were a bit frazzled at the end of our stay.

With the water pump fixed and back on the road, I had another look at the car to see if I could find the clunk and found two dead engine mounts. I suspect that one was already broken prior to the trip and then we broke the second in, perhaps, the Grampians. Again on the

phone to Pugwreck, I had new parts posted to Newcastle, where I replaced them in the caravan park beside Lake Macquarie – not a bad view from the ‘garage door’. I suspect that the gearbox mount is also dead, but this may take a bit longer to source and fit. The new engine mounts have certainly helped the noises. I probably should have found them earlier, but it didn’t occur

to me that they would be dead - hence the comment about being an amateur mechanic.

Anyway, we have done 8500km on the trip and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Certainly the car has been a long way off the beaten track (and needs 2 new tyres) and we have great memories to treasure as a family.

The other Papal Pug peter Wilson

Remember the excitement when Pope Francis visited Cuba in September

2015 and was shown greeting massed Cubans in Revolutionary Square in a Peugeot popemobile?

After some research we declared that this modest vehicle based on a Brazilian-made Hoggar coupe-utility was the first Peugeot popemobile since John Paul II used a modified 1981 Peugeot 504 ute a couple of times in France in the 1980s; a copy of this was made for display in the Aventure Peugeot Museum.

oops, we were wrong. It turns out that there was another papal Peugeot. And, like the 504 ute, it carried John-Paul II.

He used it during his trip to Lisieux in June 1980.

our South African Peugeot friend Dawid Botha came across this stretched 604 popemobile in Tuscany and photographed it when visiting a display in the Galerie Peugeot in the medieval city of San Gimignana.

It is obviously based on a 604 Heuliez limousine. Dawid’s photo shows it has a typewriter on one of the jump seats – possibly for tapping out sermons while on the move – but there is no sign of the bar associated with movie limousines.

It was used once. When the pope visited Germany, Mercedes customised a G230 jeep with transparent superstructure and elevated viewing positions, and this became the guide for subsequent pope vehicles such as the Peugeot 504s modified for the 1981 visit and an open-

air Seat used in 1982. Rover introduced bulletproof glass on the Range Rover used in the uK and Leyland built a 24-tonne truck for a Scottish visit.

A French resin model kit of the 604 popemobile – CRN087, €75.50 – shows it has an extended sunroof so the pontiff can stand and wave to the crowd.

The only photo on the internet of the pope standing in the Peugeot surrounded by press photographers is an agency one with a price of A$779 so we can afford only Dawid’s free pictures.

Dawid also found in the Galerie a red and white 604 that the course director for the Tour de France had used. A brand new Peugeot bicycle displayed beside it was still in wraps.

Danielle Bellucci, an author of Peugeot books opened the Galerie, in 2007 and the collection of 30 includes the first car to run in Italy. We suspect it was one of the earliest Peugeots but this could not be confirmed for this report.

Dawid said the best restored Peugeot in the collection was a 301 coupé with a dicky seat.

The Bothas were touring Tuscany in a Peugeot 404 borrowed from Hendrik van der Plancken of the Belgian club. However, Dawid did not say if they visited the city’s famous Museum of Torture where Inquisition relics are displayed.

Holy rolling: Pope John-Paul II enjoyed the comfort of this modified 604 limousine from Heuliz on a pilgrimage to Liseux, France in 1980.

Throne room: The rear seats have additional armrests and the extra seats fold away when not needed.

Control centre: The driver has a luxurious seat, the later four-spoke steering wheel, the revised, slightly higher instrument panel and a T-bar auto shift.

This 1:32 resin kit model from France shows how the optional sunroof has been extended and has grip rails for the pope when standing for crowd surfing.

My covir story

Having taken over the responsibility to further enhance the wonderful job

Ray Vorhauer has done restoring a 1954 203A, I recently began work on trying to improve the gear change mechanism on this beautiful car.

After six months of discussing it with fellow club members, it seemed that replacing the covir (indicator housing, which also supports the upper gear change pivot mount) may be on the cards.

My initial investigations led me up several dead ends until Paul Watson suggested contacting fellow PCCV member Malcolm Goodwin near Cessnock in NSW.

I struck gold. Malcolm kindly supplied me with an aluminium cast housing, the last of 20 he cast in 1990, so how lucky am I?

Coincidently I had earlier begun searching overseas without success, then blow me down at the same time Malcolm’s part arrived, Fischer Veteranen Service in Germany responded to an email sent two months earlier. yes, they had a cast alloy covir available for $A94 plus $A66 freight, a total of $A160. Thanks but no thanks.

At the time of writing this article, because the weather has been so cold, painting this part is taking forever, so it’s still a work in progress, but I am sure my gear change will return to the delightful movement it once had, once my new Goodwin casting has been fitted.

Having sought and received Malcolm’s approval to mention his name in this article, he mentioned several Peugeot 203/403 parts that he has had made up over the years and still has available: accelerator pedal pads in cast alloy, and window winder and interior door handle escutcheons (Peugeot part number 9120), in polished aluminium from solid material.

out of interest I took Malcolm’s covir housing to a local 3D printing business to see if this was the sort of thing that could be replicated, but not having drawings, the cost of scanning the housing would have been around $250 and then small-volume production at around $200 per unit, this was not a proposition for me, but, I thoroughly enjoyed the exercise and watching different 3D printers churning away 24 hours a day, seven days a week, producing all manner of things, for all manner of needs.

SHORT WORMSMerchandise news

The last of the brilliant repro 403 brochures has been sold, although I

do have a couple of spares if anyone still wants one.

The sale of the brochures was a successful venture for the club as we sold every one at full price.

The stocks of 03 oil filters are dwindling, but there are still a few available for $15 each or three for $40.

The next item that we will be offering is the seal between the torque tube and the diff on 203, 403 and 404 sedans. It’s the one that stops diff oil flooding the torque tube and it needs to be replaced from time to time.

These are genuine Peugeot parts and will be available next month for $20 each.

Even if you don’t think you need one now, you will eventually, and they don’t sell them at Supercheap Autos.

I wish I still had it

a few months ago, i was rummaging through a box of old slides and came

across three slides of my old peugeot 202 – my very first car some 42 years ago.the day after i left high school in 1959, i started work as an apprentice motor mechanic at cecil r. pierce, the chrysler, Simca, peugeot and renault dealer on Sydney’s north Shore.there were two workshops, employing about 12 mechanics: one for chrysler,

dodge, etc and the other for peugeot, renault, etc, called the continental workshop.my peugeot was a company car used by the service manager, harold pierce, and came on the market when a peugeot 203 panel van replaced it.this happened about the time i was to get my licence, which i went for in the panel van.it seemed the right thing to do to purchase the peugeot 202.

i very proudly drove this car – i should say thrashed – all over new South wales for the next two years.i always had my head under the bonnet, overhauling the engine. this included building a set of extractors and a larger early manifold.i had to overhaul the diff because of damage i caused at a motorkhana.this little peugeot used to fly. the car club of those days was the continental car club of australia, which met at top ryde School of arts.the mechanics at cecil r. pierce were encouraged to belong to get the basics of driving. we had access to a property at windsor where we had a sprint circuit and motorkhana area, which gave us a great opportunity to let off steam.two years on, i sold the peugeot 202 and never saw it again. my next pug was a 203 owned by ken brigden, my workshop foreman at the time. all of this was the start of a lifelong love of peugeots, which may explain the four pugs i have in my barn 42 years on.

rolling along

on a wet Sunday in July Nola and I were watching the coverage of the Supercars meeting at Townsville.

one of the events was a race for monster Stadium Super Trucks. These ridiculously large vehicles have enormous tyres and suspensions that would not look out of place on a super-jumbo aircraft.

As they drive the circuit they have to complete apparently suicidal jumps over ramps and they fly metres into the air before crashing back to earth.

When they get to a corner their huge amount of suspension travel means that they lean a prodigious amount, sometimes to the point of rolling over.

After watching a few laps of this nonsense I suggested to Nola that the monster trucks rolled as much as our 403. “No, not nearly as much,” she replied.

Last month I wrote about my 403 clock replacement project and I mentioned that I was looking for hands for the quartz

movement.

In a rare moment of insight I had a look on eBay and I found a set of hands for $1, post-free. yes please, I said.

Since then Allan Parker from Wagga has alerted me to the fact that Jaycar sell quartz clocks, with hands.

I hope to be able to provide a clock update next month.

It was a great opportunity to put someone else’s cars through their

paces when eight of us, including fellow motorsport competitor and clubmate Donald Webster, were welcomed along with a group of restaurant “personalities” at Southern Auto’s track-based afternoon at Hampton Downs, near Auckland.

The event showcased the new 308 GTi (200kW 1.6-litre manual with PeugeotSport enhancements to the motor, drivetrain, LSD, chassis and decor) and the 308 GT (Blue HDi, 2-litre, 6 speed auto). Also the new 208 PureTech (1.2-litre three-cyl turbo 6-speed auto), and now not so new but still very desirable 208 GTi.

After a gourmet mini burger lunch we were introduced to our teams and driving instructors, who included our esteemed Auckland Peugeot Car Club patron, “Racing” Ray Williams.

our first test was a timed sprint through a curved up and downhill slalom course set out on a section of the track, through cones and two hairpins in the 208 PureTech.

Instructor Stu owers took us on a fast demo ride first, before trusting us to drive him at considerable speed through this obstacle course. In theory your second attempt at this should have been your fastest, but in my case, the wonderful little three-cylinder turbo bogged down out of the second hairpin and I lost a

couple of seconds on my second run. Turbo lag, maybe? Hopefully not, more likely stability control issues, which seemed ironic given I had selected “sport mode” for the auto transmission on that run.

So Donald pipped me by 0.3 sec; still, he only came second by 2 sec to the fastest participant.

However, other than trying to be the fastest on this test, the real object of the exercise was to show the considerable talents of this “run of the mill” car – which it did to excess. It’s no wonder this PureTech motor won its class at the 2015 awards. Mated to the EAT6, six-speed auto and given the 208 has shed considerable weight compared with its 207 predecessor (now a slender 1,090kg – after a fast diet perhaps?), the handling and acceleration of this little 81kW car was astounding. A bonus was the wonderful sound track of an offbeat but grunty engine – reminiscent of the original three-cylinder Daihatsu Charades of the early 80s.

The second test had us driving from a standstill on a 20-metre downhill section of the track, towards a section of cones at full speed, before lifting off (not braking), and swerving the car to the right in order to avoid a theoretical solid stationery object in front, before swerving left again through standing

water, and then doing an emergency ABS braking stop.

It was a classic situation for “lift off oversteer” for which 205 GTis in particular were famous in their day – ending up travelling backwards and often off the side of the road in many cases.

Nowadays with computer stability control cars, or more likely drivers, are saved the embarrassment and potentially more serious consequences of their spur-of-the-moment reactions. Darwin’s first principle no longer weeds out the unfittest, regardless of whether that is a good or bad thing.

This test of controlled sudden change of direction with no power was taken by our instructors Ray and Stu in the 208 PureTech and the 308 GT HDi, then we got two runs in each vehicle.

our demo ride with Stu in the diesel with four people on board at full speed, showed us how fast and capable this car was in emergency situations. We were all quite shocked at the suddenness of the high-speed manoeuvre, but realised just how well these cars could perform in these conditions.

I started this test with Ray in the 208, and did not disgrace myself, but I really enjoyed the 308 GT with Stu. With more power (121kW and 400Nm of torque at 2,000rpm) we were probably close to 100km/h at “liftoff ”. With its more assured chassis and handling and despite its extra weight (1,320kg), it provided an impressive first drive in this very desirable car. Bring on a full road test!!!

We regrouped at Drive HQ for a final briefing before some full hot laps of the track. This was to be done in two stages. First we had to drive three laps of the track behind an instructor, following his every move and keeping four car lengths behind. Cones had been laid out on the track to guide us on the correct lines through the corners, and more cones and signs marked braking points and apexes of corners which we had to target.

Having done many laps at Hampton Downs before, this wasn’t a new experience for me, but I’m never arrogant enough to believe I can’t improve my skills. For this test I was given the 208 GTi manual, and it proved to live up to its GTi ancestry. With 153kW and 275Nm of torque at 1,700rpm it accelerated out of corners very rapidly and forgivingly if you happened to select the wrong gear. unfortunately, three laps goes by very quickly, and I didn’t really get a chance behind the instructor to drive it at more than 90 per cent of my, let alone the car’s, ability.

For the second part of this test we were given a choice of driving the 308 GTi 270 manual, or the 308 GT HDi auto. What a dilemma, as I really wanted to test them both! However, you can’t turn down the opportunity of track testing Peugeot’s new flagship GTi, so the still very capable and desirable diesel GT (which is probably the successor to our now 10-year-old but still very versatile and capable 307 HDI auto) will have to wait for a proper RoA D test (hint hint).

once again three laps, this time with helmets and Racing Ray beside me. Ray possibly had some worries about my track driving abilities, as last time with him as instructor in my then 406 V6 manual, I proceeded to spin the car over

the hill at the end of the front straight, and then I offered him a drive of that car with no brakes at turn 2.

Luckily for me his short-term memory and eyesight probably aren’t as good as they used to be, and he accepted his behelmetted protégée with good grace – and/or I was in the car before he recognised me.

We were off, down the curved ramp onto the track, saluting to Sébastien Loeb’s Citroën paint mark on the concrete barrier, before being thrust back into the very chic and supportive Peugeot Sport signed front seats.

Wow! Torque and power combine to erase all previous memories of driving hot laps here in 205 GTis, 405 Mi16s, 306 GTi6s, 406 V6s and 404 utes (with 504 Ti motor). Corner one for us, but two of the track, is another example of unknown territory for me with so much power and grip, and this is only the warm up lap!

Ray is expertly guiding me through the next few coned corners with which I am pretty familiar, but not normally in so

much of a blur. I’m trying to find the right gear in an unfamiliar ’box, be aware of the engine revs in a surprisingly quiet car while wearing a helmet, and trying to catch the occasional glimpse at the well-recessed instruments.

I have hit the rev limiter at least twice without realising, although to be fair, I haven’t yet mastered reading the needle moving anticlockwise across the semi circular dial – what? – the speedo goes clockwise and the tacho anticlockwise – well it is French!

We catch the other GTi in seemingly no time at all and Ray asks radio permission to pass, which is granted on one of the shorter straights of the track. The big sweeper onto the main straight brings back pre-Christmas memories of my running a big end bearing in my 306 GTi6- engined Mi16, but the cones don’t allow us to take the best approach line into this turn, so it is pretty hard to compare grip levels with my Mi16 (which was on good grippy rubber before its demise).

However, I attempt to improve my line in the second part of the sweeper, knowing how that will optimise the speed that will achieved down the fabulous Hampton front straight. once again glimpsing the instruments is an almost futile activity, especially if you are trying to catch a hint of maximum speed before being the last of the late brakers as you descend the curved hill at the end of it. Probably close to 180km/h, not bad, but not much above the GPS registered 170km/h of my Mi16.

All of a sudden it’s over, one 80 per cent warm-up lap, one not very fluid and smooth hot lap and one cool-down lap. Gimmee more!

The final act was our instructors’ “revenge” on us. Three of us with each instructor – I grabbed the seat beside Ray for his three laps. Fanpeugeotastic! — especially considering he had not had a chance to familiarise himself fully with

the car either. Just goes to show you can teach a pensioner new tricks.

For this ride I had a little more opportunity to look at the instruments - I saw 180km/h on the front straight – which, considering we were four up, seems pretty respectable. I reckon, given more time in the car, a good driver would see it hitting 200km/h on the front straight, and would be capable of doing about 1min 15sec laps. What do you reckon Ray?

Would I buy one? Definitely – I reckon at NZ$60,000 they’re great value for the money, and still a very practical four door

hatch. Compared with most other, mainly overrated German / European offerings, they represent great bang for your buck. However, because of my currently overstocked classic Peugeot garages, I couldn’t justify another “toy”.

So I would have to persuade my wife that she needed a new NZ$50,000 GT diesel auto, but that may take a bit of doing at the moment. (you think?!? Shayne) Thinking of buying new again, why does it appear that Australia with almost the same model lineup as NZ and same Sime Darby management, can offer five-year 100,000km warranties, compared with our three-year ones?

So thanks everyone for an unforgettable experience. I now just have to remember that most of the old Peugeots I drive don’t have all the current electronic safety factors built in, and have to allow my now hopefully improved skills to get me out of trouble the old-fashioned way, by not lifting off!!!

Bring on Targa Bambina next March, when, by then, this 60+ -year-old boy racer hopes to have the yellow terror 504 Ti back into tarmac action by keeping his foot flat to the floor with its colossal 106kW on a good day, and no electronics other than the ignition in sight.

All in the Familiale: Buying a 1964 404Words: Jamie Kitman photos: hugh logie

As I write, there is a 1964 Peugeot 404 Familiale seven-seat station wagon

sticking out like a sore thumb in the barren parking lot of a shipping depot somewhere near Livingston, Montana. one day soon, a big truck will arrive to haul the thing—its original white paint, original three-row, red vinyl interior, 40,000 genuine kilometres, and all—across the country to New york. To me, if that’s not already obvious.

To me, but still an ocean away from France where it was built and then sold to someone in the diplomatic service back in 1964, before being taken to Canada and put away, still wearing its original plates, for a long, long slumber. I’m betting mine is the only 404 wagon getting trailered across North America, though let us know if you see or hear otherwise. This is surely the only one that began its journey north of Calgary in Red Deer, Alberta. And therein lies a story.

Peugeot of North America is a closed Facebook group currently claiming a membership of 382 persons, with a not insignificant Canadian cohort. (Join us, eh?) I fell in with the group when helping son Ike find his ’92 505 wagon. one night around midnight I noticed a posting on the PNA page alerting members to a Kijiji ad (Canada’s answer to Craigslist) for this absolute unicorn. I’ve loved 404s since childhood, especially the funky bus wagons, and this one’s originality, almostunheard- of absence of rust, and the price of $5,000 Canadian—around $3,500 u.S.—caused me to jump out of bed to work the phones and interwebs to buy the car sight unseen. The unsustainability of the collector-car price bubble scares me, so it’s comforting that a lack of capital makes the “$3,500 and under” category the heart of my old-car investment strategy.

Did I mention this bargain voiture only ran with a handheld gasoline supply? And that its brakes didn’t necessarily work? And that it was in Red Deer, wherever that was? These things drifted through my thoughts as I climbed back into bed after elatedly joining the Familiale family. I didn’t realize how central they would become to my dilemma, which went like this: Cross-border shipping was prohibitively expensive, close to $4,000. However, if I could get the car to

Livingston, Montana, a mere 580 miles away, it would cost less than a grand.

As I pondered this potentially time-consuming and costly predicament, an Albertan member of the group fatefully stepped forward. There are good Samaritans and there are great ones, and into this latter category falls Hugh Logie. Hugh offered unbidden to trailer the car for me to Montana with equipment he could borrow from his place of business—the airport, where he’s a flight instructor. But first he would have to drive to Red Deer, 265 miles from his home in Medicine Hat. He wouldn’t accept payment for his efforts, other than reimbursement for his gasoline.

I then learned from the shippers in Montana that the 404 absolutely had to run and stop before arriving, and that it wouldn’t be loaded if either function was lacking, meaning it would sit until it did both. So Hugh decided the only thing to do was to drag it back home to Medicine Hat to fix, which he did, restoring braking facility and troubleshooting the fuel system while rebuilding the carburettor,

all at no charge. He then towed the car the 421 miles to Livingston and dropped it there before driving another 421 miles and enduring another border crossing the following day.

understand that Hugh Logie is a gainfully employed 41-year-old with a wife, children, and a busy job. But he is a dedicated Peugeot fan. In the name of preserving the marque and furthering its appreciation, he volunteered to spend many days and several evenings working on a car belonging to someone he’d never met. And he took additional days out of his life to drive more than 1,360 miles, during which time he nearly asphyxiated himself while napping in his borrowed diesel truck with a leaky exhaust he didn’t know about. All so I might get my 404 wagon home cheaply. The guy is a saint and a potent reminder how sometimes old-car people are the nicest people, like family, only nicer and even nuttier.

King of Speed in a Pug

Dario Resta was known as King of Speed of America for his racing

successes in a Peugeot even before he won the Indianapolis 500 in 1916 and his victory at an acclaimed 84.001mph confirmed his reputation.

The age of speed was dawning. The daring early racing drivers won considerable admiration and attracted big crowds as they risked their lives in dangerous competition while indulging in the glory on the track or in quest of new records.

He followed with another victory over the Stutz in the Vanderbilt Cup.

He was going to drive a Sunbeam in the 1915 in the inaugural 500-mile (800 km) race on the board track at Indianapolis on 26 June 1915 but switched to the Peugeot Auto Import Company’s Peugeot L76.

He was more at home on the steep boards of the Indy Speedway than at Brooklands and he qualified for third place on the front row.

The blue Peugeot was quicker on the straights than DePalma’s Mercedes, which was better in the turns, but gained the lead. He held off challenges from the Stutz team and after leading until the final stages, his car skidded and he had to make a pitstop for tyres.

Despite a mad dash, he finished second to Italian-born Ralph DePalma who was nursing an oil-spewing engine with a broken conrod in the last two laps.

The speedway acknowledged the close times of DePalma and Resta by arranging a special mach race in three heats of 10, 24 and 50 miles. Resta in his faithful Peugeot beat the Mercedes in each event and set new track records for the distances.

The next year Resta then drove his dark blue Peugeot with its engine personally rebuilt to win the Indy 500 that been shortened to 300 miles to make it more appealing to fans and in a reduced field of “21 speed devils” in front of a crowd of nearly 80,000 on May 30.

The speedway had been buying up European race cars as Peugeot and other makers sold them off and it fielded seven cars to ensure a stronger field. It had ordered the local Premier factory to build several Peugeot replicas and provide a full stock of Peugeot parts.

Making a comeback was famous Swiss driver Louis Chevrolet – later to found the

THE MAN BEHINd THE 1916 INdIANAPOLIS 500 VICTORY

by peter Wilson

Italian-born Dolly Resta – bitten by the speed bug in his youth and already famous in English and European racing – was brought to the uS in early 1915 by Alphonse Kaufman, an America importer of Peugeots to drive Kaufman’s Peugeot EX3 to win the 406-mile uS Grand Prix in San Francisco, seven minutes ahead of a Stutz.

It became a glorious year for him and the shy man who spoke with an aristocratic British accent was regarded as the most successive driver then competing.

company of his name – with a team of Frontenacs about the time he built racing parts for the Fronty Fords.

The race took place on the day the British Grand Fleet sailed to meet the German High Seas Fleet for what would be the Battle of Jutland.

Accompanied by his mechanic Bob Dahnke, Resta started as favourite on the outside of the front row. Eddie Rickenbacker led for the first laps in a Maxwell with the Peugeots of Resta and John Aitken gradually moving close behind.

Resta sailed into the lead at the 18th lap when the Maxwell had a broken steering knuckle and at 60 miles was more than a lap ahead of the field. He pitted at 175 miles for fuel and a tyre was changed in 1min 5sec.

Aitken fought for the lead while he was in the pace but a crook valve put him out in the lap 79. After that he had little competition and the pace was slowed up.

“He was not only a masterful driver but also a mechanical tactician,” a reporter said.

“He won because his machine was mechanically fit. He knew exactly how long his tyres would stand up and he knew how many times he would be forced into he pits.”

For the last lap it was noted he was “silly joy riding” at about 60mph to stay two minutes ahead of second placed driver Wilder D’Alene’s Duesenberg.

Car 17 had led for 103 of the 120 laps. His time was 3 hr 47 min 17.54 sec and average speed was 84.001 mph.

Rickenbacker returned to the race in Pete Henderson’s Maxwell and drove it to sixth.

Four men were injured, one seriously, when two of the racing cars overturned. Jack LeCain, a relief driver for Jules Devigne was fatally injured with a

crushed skull and ripped abdomen when he was trapped under his Delage and his mechanic escaped slightly hurt.

Rooney’s Premier – one of the Speedway commissioned replicas of the Peugeots – blew a tyre and smashed into the wall at the top of the south turn and broke his leg and dislocated a shoulder as the wreckage slid down the track while his mechanic was bruised after landing over the wall.

The Indianapolis Star suggested grudgingly that others had misfortunes but declared Resta “the greatest racing man in the world”.

He lived up to this reputation by winning the Vanderbilt Cup again, the Chicago 300, the Minneapolis 150 and the omaha 150 and became the uS national driving champion.

Modesty was his middle name.

“I don’t want you to print a lot of stuff about me being the greatest auto driver, he told a reporter from the ogden Standard of utah. “I’m a good driver –

that I can’t deny. But so are all the boys who pit their skill against mine.”

Asked why he won with such striking regularity and was picked as favourite in the big races, he explained: “I win for two reasons. First, because I have the best car and, second, because I am lucky.”

Not a bit of credit to himself – all to the makers of the Peugeot and to Billiken, the reporter noted.

He acknowledged that he dud things like walking and eating slowly with a minimum amount of energy. “I take my time with everything except the speedways,” he said.

The Standard reported his bride of a few months was the sister of daredevil auto driver Spencer Wishart, who died in the Elgin road race in 1914. An expert driver she had driven the Peugeot racer, but she preferred to stay at their hotel instead of witnessing his big races.

deadly Spad fighter in France, was read that called for more adherence to rules and better management of a sport that had claimed the lives of “16 brave boys”.

The Restas purchased one of the Peugeot-styled Premier Speedsters for fast road travel between racing seasons.

However, the war in Europe meant the Indy 500 was put on hold in 1917. Races with lucrative purses for drivers were reduced to a minimum.

At the pinnacle of his fame, Resta began dedicating himself to a less spectacular side of the motor industry, partly at his wife’s insistence because her brother Spencer had been killed in a race crash. He was not dependant on winnings and still had his London business.

He became an American citizen, dedicated his time to developing aviation engines, and moved his family to Bakersfield, California where he created a small racing track at Buttonwillow that is still used today.

During 1918 Resta drove a Peugeot at a race in Brooklyn, a minor event with only a handful of racing drivers.

an English upbringingResta moved to Soho in London with his parents at the age of two. His father was a former cavalry officer who became a notable studio photographer.

Taking up cycle racing Resta at 19 was hailed as a likely British champion after winning a scratch race competing in London. He also took up the new sport of roller skating and was acclaimed as a daring demonstrator though he was more into figure skating than speed events.

His first job in a wine business was boring so he joined Bailey’s of Cambridge Circus and learned all about the motor trade. At 24 he was a Haymarket consultant on his own, advising wealthy and noble clients on the purchase of Mercedes, Metallargique, Vinot, Arol-Johnston and overland cars.

A 120hp Mercedes customer, F R Fry, nominated him in 1907 as his driver in an early Brooklands meeting where Resta came second in the Montague Cup. After several races, his first win was the Prix de France in another Fry Mercedes.

Early in 1908 he established the first of many speed records, covering the flying half mile in 18min 37.75sec at an average 89.122mph.

When snow fell during the 1908 Brooklands Easter race, Fran Newton’s Napier skidded into Resta’s Mercedes but both finished the race despite badly damaged wire wheels and the clash meant Resta finished second.

He was accepted as a leading British driver and the press reported any personal incident such as a magistrate’s summons and his few days in a French jail for a practice accident.

In 1909 he delivered a Mercedes to a Wall Street investor George Wishart and eventually became his son-in-law by marrying Mary Wishart.

His racing mounts in English and European Grand Prix driving included Austins, Arrol-Johnstons, an unusual Lucas Valveless and then Sunbeams.

He joined Sunbeam as chief test driver when Louis Coatalen was designed new cars. He was the fastest of his team mates in the famous 3.0-litre racers

of 1912 coming fourth to the Boillot Peugeot and showing at last British cars could be competitive in Europe.

He won the 1914 Brooklands meeting while achieving 120mph in the straight.

After further successes, he began his triumphant American career.

His luck changed when Sunbeam planned to enter the 1919 Indianapolis with three 4.0-litre six-cylinder cars with Resta as one of the drivers, but they were withdrawn after engine trouble in practice.

Resta came out of retirement for a few more races and made another attempt at the Indianapolis in 1923 a hastily prepared Packard as teammate to DePalma but was forced out with differential problems after 225 miles and came 14th.

He returned to Europe to continue racing, winning the Spanish Grand Prix in 1923, and his name continued to draw crowds.

He was killed in 1924 at the age of 42 when his racecar crashed at Brooklands at some 115 mph while trying for a new land speed record in a Sunbeam. A belt on his car broke on the second lap and his tyre punctured, sending him out of control and through an iron fence that split his petrol tank and his set car on fire. His mechanic was injured.

In a subsequent Sunbeam crash a mechanic was killed and the practice of riding mechanics was discontinued.

Resta was an early international driver; he was a later comer to the ranks of great Peugeot racers, but he had an important role in consolidating the reputation of the brand. Alas, the war meant that Peugeot could not capitalise on its uS successes.

Two years after their launch, the Peugeot 308 and 308 Touring have

confirmed their commercial success with a spot on the European C-segment podium. An increasing number of clients are delighted with the 2014 Car of the year when they first buy it and in the long-term, and in 2015 it was the most manufactured car in France. The brand invited 80 journalists of 21 different nationalities to the Belchamp Technical Centre near Sochaux (France) to try out some Peugeot 308 cars with very high mileage to see for themselves the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group’s very rigorous development and production processes.

With 219,000 vehicles sold in Europe in 2015, including 114,000 saloons and 105,000 SW, the 308 family has grown by 37% compared to 2014. The saloon alone, embarking on its third full year of sales, has grown by an additional 9%, due in particular to the success of its sports versions - the GT and GTi by Peugeot Sport - and the GT Line finishing. These high-end versions account for over 16% of sales, enabling the 308 range to register a rich mix of over 40% (from Level 3). These excellent results make a direct contribution to the brand’s overall performance, with sales up by 9.4% compared to 2014.

Consistent with demand in the European markets, the Peugeot 308 even became the most highly produced car in France in 2015. 243,000 Peugeot 308 and 308 SW cars left the Sochaux factory last year, 38% more than in 2014. Current production stands at 55 vehicles an hour, or a daily output of 1,157 vehicles. With

over 70% of its components made in France, the Peugeot 308 is the brand’s 5th model with the “Guaranteed Made in France” label.

The Peugeot 308’s perceived longterm quality and its excellent long-term performance are visible proof of its rigorous design.

Quality was one of the main cornerstones of the 308 project, deeply embedded in the work performed by every team at every design stage. The clearly expressed aim at the launch was to position the Peugeot 308 straight away at the top end of its segment, particularly on the same level as the VW Golf. The result was commended by the public and the profession, which made the 308 the 2014 European Car of the year. Responding to market expectations, the Peugeot 308 went on to reap thirty or so prizes worldwide throughout its first year of sales. These awards enhanced, among other things, the overall perception of the new vehicle quality, which boded well in terms of the ageing and reliability of the Peugeot 308.

Just over two years after its launch, the results from customer surveys, business users, media tests and, of course, the many in-house tests, demonstrated that the 308’s long-term quality remains at the same level as when it left the factory. The static and dynamic qualities of a Peugeot 308 remain intact, even with high mileage and when driven in harsh conditions. This is the result of incorporating long-term quality, reliable equipment and durable parts in the design of each component.

The journalists were therefore able to assess and test a sample group of Peugeot 308s — all with between 40,000 and 120,000 kilometres on the clock — which had come directly from private owners or had been used in-house. Several in-house vehicles had been driven over 60,000km in demanding conditions. For the occasion, the journalists were able to witness the excellent long-term performance of a 308 PureTech 130 S&S manual hatch which had been completely taken apart after 80,000km, many thousands of which were completed on badly damaged roads or on tracks in hot or very cold climates.

They were also offered a tour of the facilities at the Belchamp private technical centre which test a vehicle’s endurance capacity at every design stage, such as the 4 cylinder endurance test frame, seat torture test bed, endurance tracks, etc.

Peugeot wanted this day to show that its ambitions are worthy of the trust placed in it by its clients. The processes used on the Peugeot 308 to achieve this level of quality are applied in the design of all future Peugeot vehicles.

Peugeot Media

In February, international press were invited to the Belchamp Technical Centre to judge the quality in use of the Peugeot 308.

Milton Grant takes a look back through the old issues of Torque

tOrQUE aUgUst 1976

In his first President’s letter Peter de Vaus outlined the various roles members of

the committee would be undertaking in the coming year and had some thoughts on our motto “Run for Enthusiasts by Enthusiasts”.

Someone with too much time on their hands had “read” the Melways and found 60 car names across Melbourne suburbs with Austin leading with 27, Ford had 17 and Holden had 4. Not one Peugeot (there is now Peugeot Pursuit in a Mill Park estate with a number of streets named after car makes).

After two club events had been cancelled due to non availability of grounds, a social ‘khana would be held at Casey Airfield Berwick, while a couple of weeks later Melton motorkhana would be round 2 of our championship if ratified at the next committee meeting.

URGENT: A Mr John, who sold a 203 LXT652 to another club member about 6 months ago has received the registration papers for the car and would like the NEW owner to contact him or the Motor Registration Branch.

tOrQUE aUgUst 1986

A report had been tabled looking into the options of a long term lease on a

premise for the Club or purchase of land. Both would require a sizable loan with a interest rate of 20% minimum (I can remember that size interest, ouch!)

There must have been a petrol strike on the weekend the club tried to clean out the Kilsyth spares shed as another was to take place on the 3rd of August and Philta had to resort to draining some of the tanks at Kilsyth but his injectors

didn’t think much of the cocktail, the effect being quite diabolical on them.

The Austin 7 club had invited our members to a Funkhana at the Narbethong oST site. A 203 driven by Philta and Dennis Edwards was very competitive against saloon vehicles on all tests winning them all but couldn’t keep up to the specials except in one test.

WANTED: A device to prevent 203 doors flying open and where to get window runners for 203/403.

tOrQUE aUgUst 1996

The last thing you would have expected to see on the streets of New york in

1982 would have been a Peugeot 505 taxi but a photo supplied by Guy Nolleau and used on the cover showed one of the nine hundred 505s with modified bumpers and headlights being used as such.

Peugeot’s first joint venture in India has started with the first 309 rolling off the assembly lines at Dombivili near Bombay. A waiting list of 108,429 mainly private customers will take some time to clear.

over thirty-five people had had a 3 course Bastille lunch at upwey on July the 14th at Les Amis restaurant followed by Petanque in the car park across the road.

Technical Torque covered 505 cam belt tensioner, 505 heater module, electric windows, bleeding 504 slave cylinders, 504 ventilated disc brakes, 504 demister improvements and repair to window demist circuits.

FOR SALE: Cylinder heads for 504 and early 505, square port type (2.0 litre XN1 engines), with complete set of valves, $500.

Attachment to replace round port type available at $70 extra. These can be used with unleaded petrol.

tOrQUE aUgUst 2006

The July meeting had been one of the best the club had had as it

celebrated the success of the Peugeot 50th Anniversary Ampol Trial Rerun. Highlights too many to mention. Amazing camaraderie, adventures and an a occasional mishap.

There was to be a tour “Around the Garages” on the 27th. After a Byo cuppa, a couple of garages were to be visited in the South East Suburbs with lunch at the Cardinia Reserve. Then to a couple more in the hills.

Bastille Day had celebrated at the Dookie College with some 20 people enjoying the day with a car park that had 2CVs, Reno 4s, 504s a DS and 406s.

For the year to the end of June, Peugeot had managed to put 4,031 new Pugs on the road.

FOR SALE: 404 Bash car (then came a column and a half explaining all of its bits and pieces that had happened since 1965). Price $6,000.

Minutes of the June committee meeting. Moved Tim Farmilo, Seconded Phil Torode that the minutes of the June committee meeting as published in Torque were true and accurate. Passed.

business arising: The Road Rules quiz at the general meeting was well received.

President Neil advised he had passed onto Glad Fish the outcome of the committee’s discussion on the GWNR informing her that a budget and event plan should be submitted to the committee for its consideration.

Peter Gramsbergen and Lael Lea were assisting with the meeting supper and room clean up, effectively performing the role of a house committee.

Phil reported on a discussion with Glad Fish regarding the perpetual trophies, which trophies could be awarded and how the scoring system operates. Greg also offered some comment. The committee asked Phil to clearly identify what perpetual trophies should be presented and obtain from Glad the scoring arrangement. The committee will further consider when the trophies will be presented, perhaps at the December meeting.

The committee will seek some information from Les Jennings on his suggestion for a Cup Weekend activity to be held at Skipton, perhaps in 2017.

A discussion was had regarding how to encourage members to join the committee and accept office bearer positions.

secretary’s report: There was no outgoing or incoming correspondence.

treasurers report: General Account, $6045.10; Cash Reserve Account, $10,795.28; Term Deposit $212,969.04; The treasurer reported that a trial balance for the 2015/2016 financial year showed a surplus of approximately $3,000. Kathryn suggested that a combination of the savings measurers and some additional income from Life Members and the Club Permit Scheme contributed to the positive result. Payments as follows were approved; MyoB $55, VDC $484.25, Peter Cusworth, Torque, $720.15, Norcal Cafe, $99.80, Mike Farnworth, Torque postage, $467.13, LS Gill, Torque printing, $1056, Telstra $35.

Jen Farmilo will be the Guest Speaker at the August meeting outlining her experience of touring Africa with a group of school girls. This evening will be a special Ladies Night with a pre meeting light dinner followed by special champagne supper.

As no Clubs responded to the PCCV invitation to join the DECA event the Committee decided to run the Sunday event as a Motorkhana on the Skid Pan only as in 2015. A Milton’s Meander will precede the event on the Saturday.

For the Cup Weekend at Myrtleford Doug Brockfield has booked a Caravan Park and Motel. The schedule for the weekend is being developed and will include drives and visits to iconic shopping/tourist towns.

LeChats have had poor attendances in 2016 so the committee will focus on

Voyage Petites (drives with lunch) for the balance of 2016.

Greg suggested Jason from Nulon would be happy to present at a Club Meeting night either later in the year or in 2017.

The 2017 Pageant is planned for Merimbula, Phil outlined correspondence he has had with a local Car Club which has given advice on motoring facilities, potential drives and accommodation options. Phil will continue the relationship and a visit is planned soon to finalise arrangements.

A Slippery Dip is under consideration for later in the year and Phil will contact Jeff Gill for suitable dates.

A report was received about the very successful work experience of Kane Gramsbergen at the new Hoppers Crossing Peugeot Dealer. Contact will be made with the dealer regarding a Saturday run to the Dealer with classic cars of members:

Club permit scheme. It has be noted from the magazines of other Clubs that rules are being introduced to ensure Club Members with Club Plates attend a number of Club activities throughout the year and also have their vehicles assessed to ensure they continue to remain roadworthy. These actions seem to have been taken to ensure the Club is able to properly exercise the responsibilities imposed by VicRoads. The Committee will further consider what arrangements might suit PCCV taking into account the wide distribution of members around the State.

torque. It was suggested that PCCV distribute Torque to overseas clubs via email given the high cost of postage and the practise of overseas clubs distributing their magazines by email. Mike Farnworth will be asked for information regarding overseas distribution with a view to advise recipients of a policy change. It was proposed that a request be placed in Torque for members to nominate Clubwoman and Clubman for 2016.

general business. Paul Watson advised that Worm Drive differential seals were now available from overseas and that the Club should purchase a modest quantity. This was agreed to and Paul will progress.

Peter Kerr reported on a very successful AoMC restoration day and suggested at least two presenters would be good at a Club Meeting. He will follow up.

Paul reported on a very informal and successful motoring Saturday ‘’morning coffee’’ gathering in Geelong and suggested PCCV might investigate suitable venues in meter Melbourne to hold a similar chat session.
