It's a retro bargain, and rare too!

...but you'll die happy, and it is nearly Christmas! ;D

Right, are you siting comfortably...

First there was the Peugeot 104 which arrived in 1975 as a four door saloon!! A year later this became more sensibly a 5 door hatch. Lots of (tiny engine size options). In 1976 pininfarina cut the back off and produced the Z range of 3 door coupes (5 door S, 3 door ZS, 5 door L 3 door ZL etc). In 1980 the 1360 engine arrived for the S and ZS.
Anyway, Citroen needed a small car to replace the 2CV so they borrowed th 5 door platrom and produced the Visa (starting with the 2 CV engine!!) but soon following the rest of the 104 range for engine options). Then they decided they needed a more basic car so they produced the 3 door Citroen LN based on the Z style, followed by the more upmarket LNA (sold in the UK).
Then Talbot got in on the act and produced the Samba, which most people will tell you is the same car as the Z series pug but in fact had 8 inches inserted into the floorpan behind the front seats so the doors are longer. In fact the only body panels that the Z series and Samba share is the tailgate.

Mechanically all these cars are identical like for like engine size etc. It's like a big lego kit!

Then, by 1989 every single one of all the different varients had rusted into oblivion and everyone forgot about them because Peugeot had introduced the 205, which initially shared most of the mechanicals, but after two years diverged into quite a different car.

Interestingly the 104Zs is generally thought to have better handling than the 205 GT (and can be made to handle better than the 205 GTi as the 205 has fairly basic rear suspension (torsion bar I think) while the ZS and Samba have independant suspension all round.

Any questions?
;D

Thats the Idea ;D
Maybe lose and smooth the bumpers as well

Nice little runaround
