    It's such a shame. All those beautiful cars. I think this was the era when Peugeots had their best design. I especially loved the 405 and the 605. Timeless. Future classics.

    I’m lucky enough to own a beautiful 1994 Peugeot 306, I’ve had loads of work done to it; welding, engine overhaul, repainting, undersealing, waxoyling etc etc.
    She’s only a 1.4 XL 5dr spec 306, but I absolutely love her to bits. So to see this is incredible! All those brand new wheel trims in that room, they’d be worth a small fortune in just one of them. I’ve seen them go for £20 each! That 605 was gorgeous and that grey 405 was other worldly cool!

  • @snbala

    Hi Colin another amazing find and video.What a place,those cars were in too good a condition to be just allowed to waste away.Somebody really needs to save them.The amount of money still in that place as well just seems crazy to leave it!!! Great commentary Colin your amazement really came across. Look forward to next weeks.Take care.😃

  • @chestnut01111
    @chestnut01111 Před 4 měsíci +5

    Time clue: The green Mazda at 13:57, it has the later format number plate that changed in April 2012. The only car with that. Doesnt mean it was new then, but if it changed ownership it would have been issued with a new number, so I would guess the place closed around 2012/13.

    There is a very good reason why those cars went unsold... they couldn't reliable bring you from point A to point B everytime you tried to start the car or it died on the road.

    Take care and stay safe.

    @redneckbryon Před 4 měsíci +3

    With a place like this, it would be worthwhile to try and find the owner or solicitor and get permission.
    Then you could maybe get some history on the building.

    • @Andromahlius
      @Andromahlius Před 4 měsíci

      None of these cars are rare or even valuable (maaaaybe the 403 and the antique we see at some point) so there's not much incentive. You can find a near mint 405 for 3500-4K€ nowadays. Abandoned models can be had for 100€. (I'm french)

  • @davow8
    @davow8 Před 4 měsíci

    Thanks for sharing this. Obviously an entire backstory behind this place. Disappointed there were no 403,404 or 504s. Cars I considered the heyday of Pugs! It also is a stark reminder of how the industry has changed. When did you last leave your pride and joy at a workshop that was such a shambles?

    Limoges? Or at least somewhere in Haute Vienne (87) given the number of 87 vehicles. We have a house to the NE in 16 (Charente). Our village has an old Renault garage full of old cars and parts rotting away. As a Renault lover, it’s crîminal. Old aged owner didn’t want to part with the stock.

    Nice to see something from our side of channel in France with the MK1 Micra, I've had 4 or 5 french cars over the years infact still have 1 an 13 plate DS3 and all have been decent cars .Shows you how hold the Garage unit was Peugeot/Citroen killed off Talbot in 94-95ish and started building the Peugeot 206 in the ex Talbot Coventry and Paris plants. Presumably Stellantis still own the name Marque.

    What a place! My Dad had a 405 1.9 GTX back in the day that used the same engine as the 205 1.9 GTI. It was a great looking car, especially in the dark green his was. He also had a Mazda 626 the same as at the front of the workshop. That thing was bulletproof! Can’t remember the last time I seen a 626 the same as that. Had a couple of 306’s myself years ago as company cars - a 1.6 Meridian and a 1.6 LX. Hopefully someone will rescue these and they don’t end up scrapped. The book on the table at 15:00 next to the Citroen service manual you flick through, has a photo of what looks to be a current Audi Q3 on the front of it, so maybe someone still visits the place?

    Not sure whether to be excited or cry. I grew up with Peugeots and I really want a 405 so to see that many in one place would be heaven for me. I'm doing a charity banger rally and managed to get a Peugeot 407 for it which is amazing but I still want a 405.

  • @liamegan4303

    Hi guys. God, that has got to be the late 80s or early 90s. I remember my dad bought a brand new Peugeot 405. Wicked video again, as always 👍. If there was a 205 GTI in there, then I would lose my shit lol. What a place. Thanks 👋 🇨🇮

  • @The_One_Over_There
    @The_One_Over_There Před 3 měsíci

    The 306 and 405 models usually look so good in white for some reason. Specially the 306.
    And the 405 has that look where it started to get a little rounder, but still had that overal boxy shape.
    The mix between old square styling, with a hint of modern roundness, can largly only be found on cars from that time period.
    I like them a lot of that.

    Just can't believe that a place like this can just sit there for a full 10 years already and not be destroyed or have some cars/parts stolen.
    This is a very busy part of Limoges with shops and traffic all around it.
