I just bought a 407 HDI and I'm fascinated to learn that you have
purchased an early ancestor - 1979! I owned a 504 petrol Pug - the
first of three. I often wished I had kept it! The oldest vehicle I own
is a 1989 Ford F150 (petrol) - a great vehicle which looks as though
it will last for ever (fingers crossed).
Do you have any idea what mileage (kilometreage) the vehicle has done?
(it has probably been around the dial more than once). From my farm
vehicles, which are mainly diesel, I have formed the impression that
diesel engines not only have a meager diet for fuel but last, more or
less, for ever. I have a Ford 200 tractor which must have been made
around 1970 (I got it in 1975) which still does everything I want it
to do.
