A lot of car for your money back in the day, very comfy and plenty of toys. Shame they love to rust.

The Peugeot 2.5 engine’s bottom end was bomb proof , but the cylinder head was aluminium and that gave no end of problems . The cylinder head wasn’t thick enough and as a result they gave head gasket problems . Peugeot tried giving the head bolts different torque settings to try and get the gasket to hold a bit better, but the heads cracked and went porous in the exauhst port or the pre combustion chamber . If the head was made out of cast iron , it would have been an excellent engine , but unfortunately the aluminium head lets it down horribly . It appears that this car was dumped because of said problems.
