This particular Peugeot 604 is a 1978 model, first registered in New Zealand in 1979. It had been ordered new by Mr Blair Webster, the owner of Campbell Motors.
Campbell Motors were the Peugeot importers and assemblers in New Zealand (403 , 404 and 504 models had been assembled in Otahuhu and in Thames). The 604 featured here had been assembled in Sochaux (France).
I bought this car from Mr Webster in 1997 and restored it faithfully to its original new condition.
This car was used on a regular basis for chauffeuring overseas visitors on extended tours of New Zealand and has a current COF (Certificate Of Fitness - same level of technical inspection as taxis or rental cars). It is at least as comfortable as a more modern car. (Click here to see my tour company's website).
I prefer to use older type cars for my tours around New Zealand, as I travel very often to remote locations, where the local garages or breakdown services would not be able to fix many of the modern features (i.e. electronic fuel injection) of a younger car.
It is a right hand drive, automatic and air-conditioned model. Chassis nr 604A33 6586080.
This car is maintained and serviced by Dennis Lowe of Manurewa (an Auckland suburb) who seems to know more about the Peugeot 604 than any other person in New Zealand (and the world?)..

All parts on this Peugeot 604 are new or as new. The only non-original components are the radio and the remote central door locking.
This might be the world's finest example of a Peugeot 604 SL. This car is in a showroom condition.
