PUGILIST | 3 President’s Report Mark scoops top award Ross Berghofer

ark Donnachie was delight- ed to have been selected as Peugilist of the Year 2012. MHis trophy was presented to him at the April club meeting, with the award being in honour of his raising sponsorship for the 2012 French Car Day. The trophy was made by Roy de Visser who, members might recall, presented at a club meeting and told of his inventions. For the trophy, I had given Roy the model car that forms the centrepiece of the trophy, and a concept to work with. Roy made the trophy that Mark will keep, as do all PoTY recipients. Further to my discussion in last month’s president’s report, volunteers are required to assist the club committee. A decline in membership in the commit- tee is not healthy: it places club authority in fewer members, and this is not a healthy consequence.

Some very observant Pageant puggers Thanks also to all our members and partners who attended and made such a strong NSW team, who were too numerous to mention here. We took out second place in the outright club competition, which was very good against a strong competitive Victorian team. Thanks to Murray Knight and his PCCV team for organising yet another great and friendly Pageant, which I’m sure everyone who attended enjoyed, and made some new Peugeot friends, or renewed some “old” ones. If you haven’t been to any pageants, I can certainly recommend them to you. A couple of results and special highlights: At the concours, there were three 406 cou- pés, a 407 coupé and a 504 coupé, all very nice. Our Andrew Park’s 504 coupé was outright runner up to a very nice and rare 404 cabriolet of Allan Horsley and John Marriott. Peter Nash’s 203 came fourth outright. John Marriott’s 604, splendidly restored with a 605 engine north-south was also a very nice car (just ask Steve Palocz!), as was Richard Marken’s 605 ute. Other NSW successes: Laurie Kerr was third in the front wheel drive class of the motorkhana, Andrew Park and Lorraine Mordue were third in the Saturday observation run, while John Geremin and Anne Jones were equal second in the Sunday observation run.

Paul Niedermeyer

he Spring 2013 edition of the Italian Peugeot Club magazine includes a short interview with Ferrari’s personal driver/ Trider (even when Ferrari drove, he always was accompanied by someone), Dino Tagliazucchi. I’ve seen pictures of Ferrari with a cus- tom Mini, but didn’t know that he preferred Peugeots for his daily driver, including a 404 sedan, 504 sedan, and 504 coupe. And the racing team used Peugeot wagons for support vehicles. The interview, translated for Curbside Classics, appears below. When did you start with Ferrari? In 1966, at that time I saw Enzo Ferrari using a 404 saloon for his daily transportation. Driven by a driver?

For how long was the Peugeot 404 Enzo Ferrari’s daily car? Shortly after I arrived in 1969 it was replaced by a 504 saloon, in dark blue metallic with beige interior without sunroof and without modifi- cations. He often drove it with me next to him and sometimes a bodyguard on the back seat. Was it followed by other Peugeot? Yes, in 1970 or 1971 arrived a 504 coupé first model blue with a blue velvet interior, a very comfortable and reliable car. The car was changed around 1973 and then we used cars from the Fiat group.
