The Peugeot 505 remains one of the French brand’s most respected rear wheel drive models, admired for its comfort, durability, and confident road manners. Sold from the late 1970s into the 1990s, it earned a strong reputation in Australia and around the world as a family sedan and wagon that could handle rough roads with remarkable ease. Its supple suspension, precise steering, and long distance cruising ability made it a favourite among drivers who wanted European refinement without sacrificing practicality. At Automotive Superstore, owners can keep that character alive with quality service parts, braking components, suspension items, filters, ignition parts, oils, accessories, and maintenance essentials suited to classic Peugeot motoring.

One of the 505’s most significant features was its rugged engineering. The wagon, in particular, became famous for carrying heavy loads while still delivering a composed ride, and in some markets the model was even adapted for taxi, ambulance, and utility work. The 505 also achieved major success in Africa, where its toughness, ground clearance, and repairable mechanical layout helped it become a symbol of reliability on demanding roads. Enthusiasts often note that it was one of the last traditional rear drive Peugeots, giving it a special place in the marque’s history. Whether you are restoring a cherished 505, maintaining a daily driver, or improving reliability for weekend use, the right parts and accessories help preserve the charm, capability, and distinctive French personality that made the Peugeot 505 such a memorable classic.
