Hello All,
CAR REG: OY65 XVZ
Just purchased one of these beautiful cars after many years of admiration!
I purchased the car from a salvage auction to help keep the costs down.
It's has light front nearside damage so hopefully not too difficult to fix / repair.
Have always loved these cars and finally got around to buying one.
I know a little about the model history etc. but am now on a learning curve hoping to expand my knowledge.
As I purchased the car from a salvage auction I never got to meet the previous owner and ask any questions about the car.
I therefore have a few questions to pose to the members forum and if anyone knows the answers I would be most appreciative of some advice:
In the meantime I'm looking forwards to hearing from anyone!
All the best,
Jeffrey

As I purchased the car from a salvage auction I never got to meet the previous owner and ask any questions about the car.
I therefore have a few questions to pose to the members forum and if anyone knows the answers I would be most appreciative of some advice:
- Under the rear carpet in the boot there is a towing eye and a reasonably large electric air inflator pump but nothing else. I appreciate there is no spare wheel but should there be a jack & handle and 'tool kit' of any sort? There seems to be lots of 'cut outs' in the polystyrene where the towing eye and electric air inflator pump are located which leads me to suspect several 'things' may be missing from my car!
- I have included the registration number of the car (see above) just in case the previous owners sees this post and/or any other members know the previous owner as I would love to get in touch with them to ask them some questions about the car.
- Also I only have one key and no service history records or 'book pack'. Again if I were able to get in contact with the previous owner and obtain the spare key and any service records of the car and the 'book pack' then tat would be amazing!
- Having a look around on various websites spare parts all seem quite reasonably priced which is a big plus!
- Not sure about availability of spare part though from the local Peugeot dealer, I guess time will tell?
- Other slightly unconventional things I have discovered so far include: spanner-less battery terminal removal / refitting. Windows dropping / raising when opening and shutting the doors. I am sure many more interesting facts will come to light over the next few months.
- Things I will need to repair the car include: a new front bumper (or repair the existing one), new nearside track-rod, nearside front wheel arch liners (as current ones are missing / damaged) and possibly a new nearside headlight.
In the meantime I'm looking forwards to hearing from anyone!
All the best,
Jeffrey
