Description
I have too many cars - 8 in total, reluctantly, I must create space, hence this superb low mileage Pug Coupe is up for grabs.
It's in lovely Ariane blue, with rare tan interior, it has a current MOT and has total mileage of just under 75, 000. The odometer says 52, 674 miles, but the service history shows a new speedometer was fitted at 22, 000 miles.
This car gives the impression from its number plate that it was new in 2003, that's not so, from the build number, I know that it was built in March of 2001.
It was retained by Peugeot in Europe for reasons unknown, until September of 2002. There is a movement order for it to be moved from Paris to a Peugeot main agent in London. It was sold from that main agent in April 2003.
I bought the car almost 3 years ago with 39, 000 miles showing. There is some service history, but it's incomplete. So, soon after buying the car, I changed the cam belt, the tensioner and all the rollers. I also changed the water pump and the crankshaft pulley at the same time. I also treated it to an oil and filter change and a change of transmission fluid.
I did some touring of France and Belgium in it in 2024, and what a fabulous, powerful, effortless cruiser it is. This was part of an organised trip with 9 other cars. The Pug carried all the support stuff, tools, trolley jack, axles stands and essential fluids etc - and still it did almost 30 MPG!
It starts on the button, is smoother than whipped ice cream and has oodles of very usable power. It has had 4 new tyres about 8, 000 miles ago and 2 x new rear brake calipers, brake discs and pads for its last MOT. I also recently changed the speedometer sensor as the unit was fluctuating a bit.
The car is in very good condition indeed - I can find no rust in it anywhere - but it is not perfect. There are some minor paint blemishes, mainly in the lacquer on the roof and boot lid and the headlining is sagging in 2 places, mainly at the back.
Prior to getting it ready for sale, I've just changed the engine oil and filter and done another transmission fluid change - I've always been a diligent oil changer- with the philosophy that when cars run on clean oil, they go forever.
I bought the Pug because as soon as I laid eyes on it - I just had to have it. The Pininfarina styling is just a treat for the corneas and driving this car makes me smile, every single time! I have another Pug 3.0 V6 Coupe, a manual one, which I've had for 14 years.
