- De hele film is te zien op: www.viddler.com/explore/Morgan... Tussen 1984 en 1988 reed ik Peugeots van Nederland naar West-Afrika met passagiers. De auto's verkocht ik in Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Togo, Niger en Mali.Een stuk van 1300 KM in de Sahara was geen weg. Daarvan zijn weer stukken grote vlakke zandzeeën. Daarvan hier een stukje film. Geniet van de muziek, Jean Michel Jarre, maakte al trance muziek eind 70er jaren.. De hele film in betere kwaliteit is te zien op: www.viddler.com/explore/Morgan...
A beautiful car. A real work horse and can be used by grand father to grand son and the next generation that follows.
So true!
I used to cross Libya with a 504 in the 1980's. Perfect car for the desert.
It's absolutely an amazing piece of machinery. The legendary Peugeot❤👍
Peugeot 504 : best car for ever ;+)
I had 4 all in Africa
The USA don't like Peugeot
The USA has no taste in cars.
The most brilliant rear-wheel drive car ever made.
Tough
Dependability
Comfortable
Cruisability
Safe
and fun to drive.
Let's say they have generally a different taste, (but inspector Columbo drove a 403) for the rest I agree with your comment
My first car was a 504, my dad was converted from Holden to peugeot by the 504, its my favourite car off all time, it's just a legendary piece of machinery, one day I hope to own my dream car, the 504 coupe 😍
Good choice :), nice goal!
The 504 is like a VW Beetle, it works always.
Yes Peugeot was the car in Redex Reliability Trials in Australia. The Holden's fell apart. The Holden, the GM car foisted on Australia was a poor imitation.
Peugeot 504 had oil based air filter that could just be cleaned and reused. Windscreen wiper system was also dustproof. I will always remember trip through Varmia with my friends. Halfway through my brother got into his 504 and thrown to me keys to his friend's VW Golf saying lets race back on sandy roads in the forest. He was just slowing down from time to time to feed us dust :D. Amazing. It was like racing on motorboats on the very narrow river...
Nice experience!
This car above all, despite the Mercedes W123 e-class, Land Rovers & Toyota Hilux / Land Cruiser, is the workhorse of the African continent. After 60 years of design, manufacture, & use they are still, today in 2023, more comfortable than any other car on the road today, which is saying something.
So true !!
One of the most lovely cars in the history. It's beautiful.
I agree, it was ahead of his time, an example for others to follow
thanks Alex for uploading such a great video of the sahara and the peugeot 504 .it is really a beautiful nostalgia .I was in the 86 a boy of 5 years old and I remember each part of my dad's car the peugeot 504 it works on gas GLS . and the sahara the place where I was raised .extrem south of algeria near mali .I remember the folks coming from europe at that time for crossing the sahara all with shorts and jeans and hats .it was a sweet time before .
Dear Peter, Nice to read your reflection on these times! As you, I have these memories from the friendly people in and around the desert in south Algeria and north of Mali. It was a dangerous trip but if we met the local people before and after the non populated area's and we felt welcome :) As you say "sweet times"
beautifiul!I have a 1975 - 504 GL..
The brilliant 504 wagon, only wagon in entire history to have 4 coil springs in rear.
504 is the French Mercedes.King of Sahara.
Very good pego 504 🌹❤❤❤💯👌
I also want to do this once in my life, just drive with some buddies in oldtimers through Africa, Asia and South America.
All that dust and sand. My Ti auto is so pampered compared to these 504's. Cheers for posting.
Awesome! That's a very nice clip! It's just so awesome to see old real footages of 504's! :)
Wat een prachtige film Alex! Ik heb echt zitten genieten van de prachtige beelden die jullie gemaakt hebben. Een soortgelijke reis staat wel op mijn wenslijstje, zeker zo door de Sahara heen. Heel gaaf! Ik ben nu 17 jaar oud en ben erg fan van de Peugeot 504, vandaar dat ik ook hier beland ben. We hebben er ook meerdere thuis. Zou deze reis ook graag willen maken met een 504, wat tegenwoordig als zonde wordt beschouwt, maar als ik deze beelden zie vind ik het meer dan waard!
Hoi Deez, Thx voor je reactie. De route door Algerije, Niger of Mali is wat link met het extremisme. De route over Marokko, Mauretanie wordt nog wel gedaan. De Sahara is een divers en prachtig gebied om te ervaren!
vive la Peugeot 504 i like so much this car
I am 26 .Am happy to say am definitely buying this car. Peugeot 504.
Good luck! Hope you find a nice one in good condition!
Alex, je film roept mooie herinneringen op. 1980 gingen wij met 404's naar Togo via Algerije en Niger. 100-en dia's toen geschoten. En net als jullie met over 100km/u op dat stuk. Genoten van je film.
Een ervaring om nooit te vergeten. Leuk om te horen dat ook jij dit hebt kunnen doen! Je reed naar Togo, dat was in die tijd ook prachtig met Lome als het "Parijs van West Afrika"
la piste entre in salah et tamanrasset les années 80 j'était routier a la sntr ou j'ai passé 20 ans sur cette route c'était la belle époque plein de touristes
Les camioneurs de la SNTR étaient les plus grands amies des avonturiers! Nous avons souvent manger et bu avec les camioneurs. (avec un petit whisky ;) Plein des bon moments en amitié dans le desert! C'était comme tu dit "la belle epoque!!
Thank you Alex for your kind reply😀!!!!!!

This isn't 70's Jean Michel Jarre. This is Oxygene 8 or some remix of it. It was released sometime around 1997. Would be interesting to know who did that particular mix though.
Thanks for your feedback. Probably a remix as I did not find this piece again.
Tenho um 504 diesel ano 73 no Brasil e uma picap Chevrolet lakester combersivel 1929
Me pregunto si todavía andan
Queen of africa
Hhhh goed

PEUGEOT EST 505.504 FORT
Pgt 504 , qu'elle belle voiture

@@thekenwortharizona3785 Merci pour sauver les gazelles souvant naïves :) Un whiskey et et un bon repas au bord de la piste avec toi ou tes collègues de SNTR ..... des bons memoires!
@@AlexSchaap Bonjour Alex, magnifique vidéo. J'ai eu 4 Peugeot 504, toutes en Afrique. Maintenant je travaille dans les trains ... et il y en a pour l'Afrique aussi :+)
I m from Sri Lanka and we loved the 504 in the seventies. Then came the influx of japanese cars. But some still hold onto their 504. I love the 504 my first car. It's a car for many generations. If I want some spare parts where can I get them from even used parts for a fair price. Can anyone tell me.
waaaaaaaaaaw
504 God
Ça s’était de la voiture
Good day to all!! Wonderful trip, wonderful car!!! A beast!!! I have a question, are these 504 diesel or petrol cars? I mean, the sand... Would a 2litr petrol 504 pass there?
Petrol and yes it passes. But on the great sandlakes you should be driving at 80+ KM/H to "float" like by aquaplanning. with not fully pumped up tyres. (In rocky area's slowly and hard tyres)
@@AlexSchaap Dear Alex, I stay in Namibia and plan to buy a 504. The one I saw is a 2 liter manual. Could you be so kind to advise me what I should check on this type of car before buying it? What are the weaknesses of these type of cars which I shall check? Thank you very much for your assistance and support.
Fred.
The 2 liter is a GL, fine car! There is a lot to find out by a good ride about engine, gearbox, axels, shocks etc on a rough road. Bodywork needs a good inspection under doors and at attachment of shock absorbers, suspension (check base of the springs too) Try out everything like window lifters, rubbers, (under windshield in the corners) Watch the brake disks. Too much to check to write about. But best advise, bring a local mecanic with you who knows what to check for! Nice thing is that everything can be fixed. Good question is how many times the engine is overhauled if you an find out. A crankshaft can only be reajusted one or two times. But then, also that can be replaced. Good luck :)

504 - The Lion of Africa.
Conqueror of the Land Rover Empire in Africa in General and Ghana in Particular. 😂🤣
Good evening,
My apologies to bother you again.
As you may remember, I am looking to buy a Peugeot 504 in South Africa to travel through the gravel and sand of Namibia.
I found 1 in a correct state, but it is a 1800 (manual), not a 2 liter GL.
Do you think It will be ok, or a 2 liter engine would be better?
Thank you very much for your assistance and support.
Best regards,
Frederic Vassart.
The 1.8 engine has 85 Hp and the 2.0 has 100 Hp. For soft sand and heavy loads is power useful, but an 1.8 will do the job. What is the year (and country) of built? Is it a common car (for spare parts, mechanics ) in S.A.?
@@AlexSchaap The car was built is SA and is from 1983..
@@AlexSchaap Would it be possible that I send you pictures? This is because I live in Namibia and the car is in Durban. So before traveling there to check it, I would prefer to have the maximum of information and advices. My plan is to prepare the car to travel through all Namibia and SADC.
I honestly hope that I am not bothering you too much..
Best regards
I don't know the specifications of the SA built 504's But apparently it is known there! So good luck!
@@AlexSchaap Thank you!
Hoi Alex, hoe heet deze track van Jean Michel Jarre?
Gezocht op youtube en niet meer gevonden, ook Shazam vindt het niet..... Alle oude CD's (waarvan ik het had geleend) inmiddels exit.
ik heb de selfde nu in 2017
Mooi man !
What song is this?
Jean Michel Jarre is the artist. The name of the song I don't know.
slt
I like danger advancher... 🚗🚗🚗👌👌💪👑👑👑👑🔫🔫💄💄
504 v8
جيد جدا 504الاسد
404 was better and easier to work on.
404 has a lot of space around the engine, more basic mechanics, nice and useful car especially as a pickup, but better? I prefer the 504...
