We have here to do with a chauvinistic garage mechanic from Marseille or is this really a Peugeot? Spoiler: that last one.

Already in the thirties from various mergers, the company Steyr-Daimler-Puch was formed. This Austrian company, now Magna Steyr called, is thus a part of the Daimler group of companies and specialises in the construction of terreinwaardige vehicles. Think of the Steyr Pinzgauer and Haflinger. The company builds the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, in some countries the car was even sold as Puch G.

But that’s not all, because Peugeot had its version of the G-Class. This was not at Magna Steyr made, but Peugeot itself. However, ‘make’ is a big word. The G-Classes were in bite-sized pieces by Mercedes with Peugeot delivered, after which the French there is a petrol or diesel from the 504, linked to a gearbox from the Peugeot 604, in substantial reductions in, what cables are passed through the whole, then at each other charges and a tan gifts.

Most of the Peugeot P4’s went to the French army. They were the ones with an order of 15,000 copies initiated from the P4. Also some consumers have purchased themselves a French G-Class, though the high price of real commercial success, quite in the way. The above instance is what the French so nicely a breakdown call: a bergingsvoertuig. The special vehicle is to purchase in your own country, the Marketplace-advertisement mentions a not sick asking price of almost 14 mille.
