Description
1987 PEUGEOT 505 formerly owned by Giscard d’Estaing Chassis number VF3551A9603080127 French vehicle registration document • Formerly President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing’s personal car • Original first registration document in his name. • Non-standard specification, reflecting the President’s personal colour scheme: green bodywork, brown leather upholstery and sunroof A legendary story of automotive loyalty developed between Peugeot and Valéry Giscard d’Estaing. Upon his inauguration as President of the Republic in 1974, he broke with traditional protocol by adopting the Peugeot 604 as the Élysée’s official state saloon, the embodiment of French modernism which he held so dear. But it was only after his term of office had ended that his attachment to the Sochaux-based brand took on its full, personal significance: far removed from republican ceremonial duties and state chauffeurs, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing took the wheel himself for his private journeys. After purchasing his first 505 in 1980, his choice naturally fell in 1987 on the brand’s top-of-the-range sports model: the Peugeot 505 Turbo Injection. The example we are presenting here, identified by chassis number VF3551A9603080127, is precisely the former President of the Republic’s personal car. Registered new on 20 August 1987 under the highly symbolic number 2000 SZ 63, it was then linked to his historic stronghold in Auvergne and his famous residence at Chanonat, in the Puy-de-Dôme. An extremely rare find and a historical artefact of the highest order, the car retains its original registration document, issued directly in the name of Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and bearing his own signature upon its sale on 7 January 1993. Taken over at the time by a Peugeot Occasion branch, it was subsequently registered twice in the Sarthe (72) before becoming part of a major private collection in Lyon. A prime example of the statesman’s discreet tastes, this 505 features a highly specific, non-standard configuration – a true stylistic signature of the president. Fascinated by this unique harmony, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing commissioned most of his personal Peugeots in green: his previous 505 already adhered to this colour scheme, as did the 607 he would acquire many years later. This special order thus combines a green body with full brown leather upholstery, enhanced by the added pleasure of a sunroof. Under the bonnet, the 2.2-litre supercharged four-cylinder engine, producing 180 chevaux, made it a master of the open road, perfectly suited to his swift journeys between Paris and his estate in Auvergne. Now clocking up just over 330,000 km — evidence of its regular use by successive enthusiasts — the car has undergone a full mechanical overhaul by its last owner to ensure it is in perfect condition for sale. Backed by a clear provenance and bearing the signature of one of the most influential presidents of the Fifth Republic, this 505 Turbo Injection is a rare piece of historical and heritage heritage on the market. 1987 PEUGEOT 505 TURBO INJECTION Chassis number VF3551A9603080127 French vehicle registration document • Former personal car of President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing • Original first registration document in his name. • Non-standard specification, featuring the President’s personal colour scheme: green bodywork, brown leather upholstery and sunroof A now legendary story of automotive loyalty developed between Peugeot and Valéry Giscard d’Estaing.
