Peugeot 504 Break Riviera - Classic Car Restorations

Peugeot 504 Break Riviera - Classic Car Restorations


In 1971, the Peugeot 504 Break Riviera made its debut at the Geneva Auto Show. Born into the world of concept cars, it was designed and built by Italian Coachbuilders, Pininfarina who based it on the 504 Coupe. However, despite Peugeot’s initial interest it was considered too expensive compared to the popular 504 estate model and subsequently never made it into production. It has since been shrouded in rumours of multiple prototypes but with only one survivor, keeping the legend alive.


Very little is known about this model and even less about the surviving prototype. Keen members of The Dutch Peugeot Club spent 10 years hunting down the alleged sole survivor which was eventually discovered in the private collection of an elderly man in Spain. It transpired that he was looking to sell it and the rumour mill has churned out the possibility of it now being in the hands of a private collector in Germany. The mystery continues and we may never know the true fate of this auto ghost.


It has now been 50 years since the dawn of the Peugeot 504 Break Riviera and it’s time for a resurrection. HC Classics has revealed a subsequent prototype built for a private collector.
