I had one of these - a 1982 104SR in the same colour. Great little car, good fun; great driving car - comfy, if a little bit uniquely 'French' in the way it rolled around corners. The usual niggles but generally very reliable with a few notable exceptions - I remember driving to university one particular day while holding the throttle cable (which had sprung free under the bonnet) in the driver's door window, tugging it to accelerate. Not a spot of rust on it, but it was the engine (more specifically the clutch) which finally gave up the ghost. I can still see those headlights, wistfully looking down at me as the car was craned up into the lorry to be taken to the graveyard - boy, how I wish I'd kept that car!
Hi Dayno, Congratulations for this purchase. I own a ZR (same specs as GR but in Coupe body). More precisely i got a 1981 model (the one with a XW7 109.9 engine). In France these cars (GR/ZR) exist with slightly different engine specs ('80, '81, '82). Really these cars are great but be careful with cooling system and head gaskets. I got WAY more informations to share with you if you're interested in. Feel free to ask, it's a pleasure to talk about these gems.
Hi, thank you for your comment, good to know what to look out for, if I were to have another one of these, I would quite like a 2 door ZS model but 104's are difficult to find here in the UK. This one I think has fared well for the 143k miles it's done, seems like they're pretty tough cars.
Thanks Michael, you're unlikely to see another one on the road that's for sure! I can't even remember the last time I saw one for sale to be honest. Howmanyleft say there's around 7 taxed in the UK (all models) and less than 40 in total including all those on SORN.

Great story, thanks for sharing! I agree with you, it was a great drive for an old car, even with the mileage this one had.

These are very rare now and possibly the predecessor to the 205

More details on the specs please, nice little car though!
I will try and include more about the spec for future videos. Thank you for watching!
There was a red French registered one near my college, didn't sound good. Knocking badly on half its engine
Haven't seen it in a couple months
Let me know if you do see it again, hopefully not been scrapped if it sounded like it was on its last legs.
Капот сука открой!!!! Пиздишь бля!!!!
