[quote CAL6F42AJR5JEGA3]Interestingly, my ownership of a Mark 2 was contemporaneous with my father's custody of a 1966 Peugeot 404 (which I later bought from him). It was hard to pick a winner between them but let's never forget what a fabulous car the 404 was.[/quote] Modern Motor magazine compared the two in their September 1967 issue. Both well regarded. The 1800 used in this article, registered ELG775 was also taken to Western Australia by Modern Motor's David Frith, and then used in another Sydney-Perth and back in 5 days trip by Tom Floyd in Wheels magazine. From memory, it was assigned to Evan Green as his company car.
