Aft'noon all,

I'm sure there are quite a few motor-related anniversaries to be celebrated this year - any ideas?

RJ

The XJS went on sale 40 years ago, as did the Rolls-Royce Camargue.

(PS it was 60 years ago that the Dodge truck last carried the Alfa to a race meeting)

As a member of L'Aventure Peugeot in France, I have just received this
message, I imagine they would be happy to hear from any one with memories of these Peugeot models, send them an email in English or French.

Many decades and not a wrinkle!

This year, some key models of PEUGEOT celebrate a "round figure" birthday:

- 80 years for 402

- 60 years for 403

- 50 years for 204

- 40 years for 604

- 30 years for 309

The AVENTURE PEUGEOT Museum celebrates these anniversaries from 8 February until 8 April, 2015. On this occasion, videos and new photos will be to discover.

The Museum also calls up your memories to bring a personal touch to this exhibition. If you have an anecdote, a story, photos and/or movies in touch with one of these models that you wish to share, thank you for sending an e-mail to: musee@peugeot.com or a mail to:

Musée de l’Aventure Peugeot

Now that is a motorhome I have always coveted. Not many around now, but there is one near me, been left to rot for over thirty years. But the owner is "going to do it one day"
