1979 Peugeot 304 Van
Registration no. TNP 540V
Chassis no. 4198544
Engine no. 4198544

Most motor manufacturers base their light van designs on models from their passenger car range, and this Peugeot commercial is derived from the French firm's 304 saloon. Styled by Pininfarina, the latter was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 1969 and would enjoy a lengthy production run, the last (estate) models leaving the factory in 1980, by which time nearly 1.2 million had been produced. Of advanced specification, the 304 featured front-wheel drive, independent suspension and disc brakes, and was powered by an all-alloy single-overhead-camshaft inline four that would be offered in various capacities up to 1.3 litres (petrol) and 1.5 litres (diesel). The body's generously proportioned centre section was inherited from the smaller 204, the 304's extra length providing a much bigger boot. The van version (fourgonette in France) was introduced in September 1977.

This 304 van was originally registered to Patrick Motors Ltd and used at their Peugeot/Talbot dealership in Evesham for delivering parts. The vehicle has not been driven for many years and will require recommissioning before further use. Offered with an old-style V5C document.
