The club started in 1954 when a group of Peugeot owners responded to advertisements placed by the late Tas Smith. Tas Smith became our foundation President.
The PCCV has grown into one of the largest one make car clubs in Australia and has achieved an enviable reputation among its peers.
The activities of the club are varied: they include social, sporting and technical events. Recently a strong interest has developed amongst some members in restoring older Peugeot models.
