Peugeot 504, 1969, Lohja

Additional information

The Peugeot 504 Coupé was first presented in March 1969 at the Geneva International Motor Show. The coupé body was designed by Pininfarina designer Franco Martinengo, whose other masterpieces included the Ferrari Dino and Daytona. The bodies and interiors were produced in Italy at Pininfarina’s Grugliasco factories, while the mechanical components were installed in France at Peugeot’s Sochaux plant. The car’s engine was fitted with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection.

A total of 26,878 cars were produced between 1969 and 1983. This car is a pre-production model with chassis number 156. It was the first 504 Coupé imported into Finland and was displayed in white at the international Auto69 motor show in Helsinki in May 1969.

The car’s first owner was Maan Auto founder, commercial counsellor, Knight of the French Legion of Honour and war hero Aimo Aho. Other notable owners included Kari Rito (founder of JYP Hockey), Jukka Pajari (Lotus F18/20 driver) and Veikka Miettinen (Estonian hero helicopter pilot).

Väinö Miettinen was a racing driver and Peugeot district dealer in Imatra. He had wanted to own a 504 Coupé since 1969, when he saw this white coupé at the Helsinki motor show. In 1972, he bought himself a turquoise-blue 504 Coupé, and in 1975 he bought the car he had seen at the 1969 show for his son. During a complete restoration, it was painted turquoise blue to match its sister car. The 1969 Coupé remained in the Miettinen family for 20 years, and the 1972 Coupé is still with them.

The coupé passed a historic vehicle inspection in 1995. In recent years, extensive restoration work has been carried out, including a repaint, seat upholstery, a full Kugelfischer service, fuel transfer pumps, brake master cylinder, alternator, electric windows, windscreen wiper motor, rear section of the exhaust, and whitewall tyres. The exact mileage is unknown.

The car is very clean and works well in all respects, but it is not flawless: the paintwork, dashboard and centre console could be improved. The hammer price includes winter storage in a heated garage until spring.
