I had a job in our neighbouring LA today. I was pleased to see a relic still working. The LA are strict on condition and road worthiness. The car is a Peugeot 505 estate and to the best of my knowledge has been a cab under the same ownership since new. Must be intergalactic mileage!

Anywhere between 1979 and 1992
