And remember, the October club meeting is at Shannons auction rooms, located at the corner of Frederick St and Reserve Road, St Leonards.

As with most of those 206 drive days, any stop is just an excuse to take more photos Anyway, back to the mystery of the photo. At the last meeting Nigel Nash was convinced the photo was Brian Ward’s — as featured on the cover of Torque, but I pointed out that Brian’s photo was taken in normal or landscape mode, whereas the Pugilist cover photo was in the correct portrait orientation. On checking his emails, he agreed with me. Grahame Foster is convinced it’s one of his own. All I can tell you is that it was taken on the 12 May 2011 (a momentous day, if ever there was one) and snapped on a Leica Digilux 2. This is a pretty flash digital compact camera and not exactly common, so the answer is out there somewhere!

The diesel engine car is everything that we have come to expect from a Peugeot diesel model and was a joy to drive. What I was not expecting was the driving experience that the new three-cylinder petrol engine delivers. Quite simply it’s a revelation! The engine pulls well across the range whether it be in countryside driving along narrow twisty lanes or when it was on the motorway. I am not exaggerating when I say it’s the best Peugeot I have ever driven and those of you who know me know that I have driven a lot of Peugeot product over the years.

There were stiffer Peugeot 203 Wagener Spéciale valve springs and stronger spring retaining collars were machined from high tensile steel. Compression was raised from the standard 6.8:1. Still during 1962 (I suspect he had a lot of fun playing around) Philip made aluminium inlet manifold for two SU carbs (1½ inch). With this state of tune he participated in the Camps Bay Hillclimb and came second! Not long after this, he fitted a later C2 gear- box and designed and made a floor-mounted and very precise short-throw floor gearshift. A rev counter was made from a discarded speed- ometer and the cable connected to the former drive. Philip hand-painted the dial of the “rev counter” himself and you have to look twice to see that it is hand done An SU electrical fuel pump and seat belts followed. I think that little engine was getting thirsty and fast ... Early in 1963 Philip started practicing at the Killarney racetrack near Cape Town and he realised that he could not stay upright in the standard seats around corners, especially when Just watch me go at the traffic lights changing gears.

This is what makes us confident in the future ... “ It was a positive note at a time when the group’s financial problems are deep enough to be mentioned in the Australian press. According to Toutes Les Peugeot, the year- by-year listing of car models, Sochaux pro- duced the luxurious sleeve valve Type 156 from 1920 and later versions of the 172 Quadrilette from about 1924. The big change came with the switch from artisan-style workshop manufacture to building steel car bodies with body panels formed by 22 huge stamping presses. 203 line: One man fits a sunroof while US-style assembly techniques were ramped another fits the window mechanism. up in 1929 to take the 201 to unprecedented volumes that brought prosperity to the firm and the streamlined 402 and 202 followed in the 1930s. After the war Sochaux later produced mod- els more familiar in Australia such as the 203, 404 and 504. The factory continued to expand, involving in the 1980s the diversion of a river to make room. While other major makers began com- ponents from specialist suppliers, Peugeot continued to make its own components and sub-assemblies and Sochaux had an unusually broad range of manufacturing activity. Towards the end of the past century, Peugeot began buying in more components and sub-assemblies to reduce costs and some departments, including the seating factory and foundry, were closed. The assembly lines have grown in sophis- tication with the introduction of individual chips with build instructions for each car, and computer control of welding, some component assembly and painting. Last year Peugeot said it would end its own shock absorber production and use units from Spain. Sochaux has produced more than 20 mil- lion cars. Today the site assembles 1 670 vehicles a day: the Peugeot 308, 3008, 5008 and Citroën DS5 with their hybrid versions. The factory’s big research department is developing replacements for the No. 2 platform models, the Peugeot 308 and Citroën C4. L’Aventure Peugeot advised the club of a major retrospective being shown at Sochaux until 15 October with pictures taken from the vast library of the Archive Centre Group Terre Blance on themes such as the evolution of working conditions, the role of women in the industry since 1912 and the development of a vehicle. During September Sochaux opened the plant to the public for a day of “bicycle cars in the country”. Workers could take their children to see what went on.

Mark Besley Tailgate release on a 307 Touring.

Rear Hatch Lock his month, I am writing about a problem with the rear hatch lock on a 2002 307 XSE owned by PCCV member TJan Fly. I would like to thank Jan for showing me the problem and documenting her experi- ence in getting it fixed. Jan’s problem was that the rear hatch would not lock or stay closed, meaning that it was bouncing open on every bump as she drove along the road, and also meaning that the car used to it and tend not to think about it until the PCCV who regard 203s and 403s as “older doors could be closed but not locked. something like this goes wrong. models”, 404s and 504s as perhaps middle- Firstly, a little insight into the way that We should also speculate why Peugeot went aged and anything with front wheel drive as the locking systems work on a 307 and other to such a system.

However you soon get tailgate is open and the car cannot be locked in this situation. Of course this compounded Jan’s difficulties as her car could not be locked while the system detected that the rear hatch was not closed.
