PEUGEOT 604

4-door 5-seater saloon.

How can a big expensive car be 'grey porridge'? This one was, despite all-independent suspension and efficient PRV V6 engine, 604 was always unexciting. Top speed of V6 cars was over 110mph. 2.85-litre engines only from '84. Diesel turbo option from 1979, enlarged to 25-litres in 1984. Most found in UK have V6 engines, which had fuel injection from 1978. Granada-sized, but not nearly as successful. Many 'chassis' components later used in Talbot Tagora.
