The One-Two-Three Oh Forum

The 1, 2, 304 Register was originally formed to find and record the details of 104, 204 and 304 models in Australia. We thought while we were at it, we may as well extend that to include all Peugeot front-wheel-drive models not sold by the factory in Australia. This would then include the 305 and 309 models as well. Examples of all of these, presumably privately imported models, exist in Australia. But how many are there, where are they, and who owns them?

Well we think we have records on most of them, but there are always new cars that come to our notice every now and then, and the ones we do know of, sometimes change owners or condition.

Why a Register?

“Why start a register?” you may ask.

Some of the reasons include:

	to keep track of these rare (in Australia) vehicles;
	to support each other in keeping them on the road;
	to pool resources and information about them;
	to share contacts re locating spare parts
	to provide those on the register with info on other similar cars in Australia
	to locate parts in Europe and help with purchase and import to Australia.

There are probably lots more things that as we as individual owners find difficult which become easier with a group effort.

The register is basically a database for information of these cars in Australia. There is no cost, and owners do not necessarily have to be a Peugeot car club member. If you don’t want your personal details to be included on the register, we would still like to know about your car for statistical purposes.

You can add your car to the register by downloading the form here, then print it, fill it in and send it to the address on the form. It is in Adobe PDF format, so you will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it.

Here is a summary of each of these models

The 204

The 204 four-door sedan was first released in March 1965. This was Peugeot’s first front-wheel-drive vehicle, fitted with a transverse mounted all alloy over-head cam 1130 cc motor/transmission unit. Fully independent suspension with front disc brakes, four-speed gearbox, column or floor change. A Station Wagon, Coupé and Cabriolet were later available as was models with diesel motors. Examples of the Sedan, Wagon and Cabriolet are in Australia – don’t know of any coupé. The 204 models were gradually phased out during the 70’s. As usual with Peugeot, some body shapes were available for longer than others. Cars were assembled in various locations outside of France. Some Australian 204s were built in Malaysia, which explains why they don’t have a heater!
