The Appeal

There’s a certain, irresistible charm about the Peugeot 304S Coupé. A Pininfarina-penned design, it’s a sleek and delicate interpretation of ‘70s French elegance, and now a seriously rare sight, especially in original, right-hand drive specification.

This example is genuinely one of a kind. Purchased new by Mrs. E. Homer of Stourbridge in 1973, it’s had just three owners since and retains a mileage of under 29,000 from new. The history file is extraordinary, containing the original sales invoice, part-exchange paperwork and a continuous paper trail of servicing and maintenance invoices from 1976 to the present.

Lovingly maintained by renowned UK 304 specialist Darius Bunch for over two decades, this 304S has led a cherished life - garaged, cared for, and used sparingly, especially in recent years. In a world where many 304 Coupés were sacrificed for parts to support their Cabriolet siblings, finding a genuine, low-mileage right-hand drive survivor of this quality is bordering on the mythical.

Comfortable, charming and a guaranteed conversation starter, this is a golden opportunity for a collector or enthusiast to acquire what may well be the finest surviving UK 304S Coupé.
