I remember my dad purchasing a brand new one in 1990.This vehicle was a performer.Never let him down.

The effort to develop the video is commendable 👍🏽. New subscriber

[@muthomimiriti2259]

The video quality is superb.

[@kenbit667]

Excellent review of this ageless machine! It was everyone's dream when I was a little boy; I remember those days with nostalgia and plan to get one someday.

[@chrispbacon3042]

Excellent engineering. Very much disagree about the 504 braking system. The Peugeot 504 had very good four wheel disc brakes. There must be something wrong with that particular vehicle .

[@oscarkemey8560]

I agree the 504 brakes were just a touch of the toe,i think his booster is faulty

[@bernardsande5894]

@@oscarkemey8560 yes you are right, probably a problem with the booster of this particular car

[@Salman-sc8gr]

Maybe his rear brake shoes need adjustment.

[@vs6300]

I recall being informed that the brake had a minor issue arising from full paint restoration done but it was promptly sorted afterwards. But this was the rear drums version.

I really miss our 504 KAA 652H SR limited. Dad sold it in 2004.

The way a 504 sits up on the road and handles is phenomenal. I had one in the 1990s, and I just bought another one! Can't wait to get behind the wheel ; )

[@allanbriggs807]

Great cars - very reliable and comfortable.

[@felixomondi3239]

This is such a drivers car, purely mechanical. With basic tools u can never sleep on the roadside after breaking down

[@markkofi8522]

The King of Africa. 👏🏽👍🏾

[@BJackson.]

My dad had this car,, pure nostalgia.

[@gracesgg1]

Petrol 504s sold in Australia had 4 wheel disc brakes; properly maintained, you don't need to floor the pedal to stop quickly; I still drive our 1981 model in traffic … and the clutch and gearbox are still a delight ….

[@allanbriggs807]

Yep - I owned four 504''s from 1976 to the late 1980's. That included an eight seater Familie (Sp?). The disc brakes were excellent. I didn't know they made them with drum brakes.

[@vs6300]

I recall being told the brake had a minor issue arising from the full paint restoration it had just undergone and was promptly sorted afterwards.

[@vs6300]

​​​@@allanbriggs807The axle with shaft casing and drum brakes of this version (GR) was a carry over from the older L version with Limited slip differential added. The all disc 2litre version was dropped from Kenyan market early 80's and in its place came locally assembled GR 1600/1800 and SR 1800 version with a reworked head.

Reminds me when I was young used to get my granddads one and go on joy rides

[@emmanuelofori6521]

The African lion deserves better,we should still produce this car with some upgrades.

[@mwauradk]

The only car to ever get two indegenous names, it was known as "muruthi" or "ngatia" in Kikuyu, "Simba" in Kiswahili, all of which translate to "Lion". All hail the African Lion (and yes I know it was a French car, but it was an African legend)

They were made in Nigeria till 2007.

Question,can a probox engine work in a Peugeot 504 or which EFI engine is compatible with a Peugeot 504

[@Skreept]

Nah, a probox is front wheel driven and the 504 is rear wheel driven but with a good fabricator and enough budget nothing is impossible.

[@Peppermint1]

Such car would benefit from a smaller sport size steering wheel. More trouble when parking, but road handling would be much more pleasant and no worries about no airbag (never replace a steering wheel with airbag with one without airbag, it's a death sentence)

[@Tai_Music_Group]

I have a 505 SR its orgasmic, Wife no 1 loves it too much, Wife no 2 hates it too much but admits its the most comfortable car she's ridden

[@doctrine_ridge_Ke]

the C class of the 80's

[@eliudmkenya001]

long ago before the introduction of shuttles, there were only Peugeots and Buses, they would cover long distance journeys with avg speeds of 100-120kph, with peaks going upto an effortless 160kph or 180kph, the vip seat was next to the driver, they would go from Nairobi to Nyeri, Nairobi to Western, Nairobi to Meru etc, the likes of Wepesi (Western Peugeot Services), the driver operating the Nairobi to Nyeri would do a clean 180kph at some point of the journey, esp if its the Australian spec with All 4 disk brakes and much responsive brake system without having to floor the pedal so that it can stop, They were called Nyeri Matuini ( meaning its either you arrive safe or you perish, there is no in between).
