PEUGEOT
505s
are a common sight in Beijing's streets (the first character
on the number plate means "Beijing"). Sedans and wagons
can be seen in equal numbers and most are well cared for. Some
cars look rather european ...

...except
the badge, of course ! I took all these photos during the
summer 2000...

This
was the last model to be produced in China. It is named
505 SX2 and features the well-known 504 Amil alloy wheels

One
night, I came across this 505 GR Dangel 4x4. Luckily, I
was able to buy a QuickSnap camera nearby to take these photos.
Only the flash didn't work that good...

What
a gorgeous car !
I want to take it home, clean it, polish it, fix it, drive it,
love it... The marks on the bonnet are raindrops

Black
number plate
(means "foreign related") with red character
meaning "embassy" indicate that this car might belong to

This
1991 505 belongs to Buergude,
who is an Editor-in-Chief of an automotive styling magazine.
So the most important reason that made him choose a 505
is that it's designed by Pininfarina, "and Pinin's
design makes it timeless"

Buergude
found his PEUGEOT in a 2nd hand car market, looking just
like an old French Gentleman, much more elegance than any other
cars in China
