Rare sports car
This is one of those cars which you’re very unlikely to see two in the same place, even at a French classics show. The RCZ was a special project for Peugeot.
Our story on the launch of this series notes: “Built for Peugeot by the Austrian company Magna Steyr the RCZ is not just a pretty face however but a very competent performer.
“The top-of the range 147kW turbo-petrol is a screamer and new to Peugeot with variable valve timing on inlet and exhaust and featuring BMW’s excellent Valvetronic variable valve lift. Mated to a slick six speed manual, this is the hard charger of the trio.”
This example is a top-of-the-range variant with the premium version of the three available powerplants.
It appears to come with all the bells and whistles, including ABS, traction control, cruise and climate control.
The car claims under 24,000km and is with John Conroy in Brisbane, priced at $26,990.
