It gave good levels of economy and refinement as well as having an impressive chassis which made ride and handling excellent.

A three-door coupé was launched on a shortened chassis at the 1973 Paris Motor Show, featuring the same 954 cc engine as the saloon.

[7] Originally sold as the "104 Coupé", the shorter wheelbase models later received names beginning with a "Z" (e.g. ZL, ZA, ZS2).

[9] Peugeot had been afraid that a five-door 104 would steal sales from the old-fashioned 204 Break, but with production of the 204 coming to an end in July 1976 this was no longer a concern.

[10] Rear light clusters were modified slightly with indicators that wrapped around to the sides of the car, and a 1.1-litre engine was also made available.

[5] A modified camshaft on the 954 cc engines also retarded the valve timing in order to favour fuel economy at the price of a slight power reduction.

[11] The more powerful engine from the ZS was briefly available in the five-door hatchback "Sundgau" special edition, of which 1,200 examples were built in March and April 1978.

[5] At the end of summer, the ZS coupé variant was given an 80 PS (59 kW; 79 hp) 1,360 cc engine to improve its performance.

[17] There was a minor facelift in 1987, introducing a new grille with three body-coloured horizontal bars and anthracite bumpers - now without a chrome band.

A yellow three-box saloon (pictured) is also known, as is a white pick-up truck and the "Peugette" - a roadster prototype built on the 104 ZS platform.

[21] The Peugeot 104 was one of the most successful European small cars of the 1970s but it was starting to show its age against more modern rivals by the turn of the 1980s.
