I only seen it once and haven't seen another since. Late 90s old Boss had a wide body White/Red interior "Conquest" Couple months ago thinking back of old school this car in my head. 🤙🏽😍🙏🏽❣️

My step father had a Conquest (1st year, not TSi), stupid fast car for its size.

Sorry, but the AI narrator makes it unbearable to listen to.

0:15 - "This turbo charged rear wheel drive coupe." Listen to that sentence again. Why do you over pronounce the letter P in coupe? Did your lips reverberate when you said it? Who taught you to pronounce letter P like that?

i used to get in them in Egypt, they were used every where as taxis

Wow he butchered the French car company name.

Unfortunately, the Federal Exhaust Gas Pollution Ban Ordinance BABVVO and the Federal Transport Tourism Emission Restriction Ordinance TEBBVO will soon ban exhaust gas emissions and transport tourism emissions nationwide!!!

CHEERS from AUSTRALIA. My dad had 504 diesel sedan (I drove it for several years after he had a company car) - HA - it had dangerously slow acceleration in a big city - but once wound up - it would cruise all day - the seats were so comfortable - and the material withstood the harsh AUSTRALIAN sun - HA - unlike my new 1978 LANCIA that the sun here started to destroy the seat fabric within a couple of years. HA - and I believe that FIVE ZERO FOUR is correct.

The cabraleigh , fastest car in Ghana in the 70's A road master

coupe is not pronounced`coop`

first engine pic is a diesel yet narration says petrol. these basic errors spoil it and make me assume you have little actual knowledge.

I watched a TR8 run in the SCCA back in the 1980's. Mountjoy's Speed & Autobody shop @ Summit Point Raceway. It was fast, handled well, blew away the competition until they outlawed it- cause he always won with it.

My dad and uncle had 505s here in Kenya in the 1980s. Another uncle, a coffee farmer, had a 504 pickup.

Was there another Citroen that had a similar body style?

in France and Germany you pronounce the models in hundreds, injust asked an old french guy who told me that I am wright about this. Peugeot 103 / centtrois / einhundertdrei / onehundredthree = 50 ccm moped 104 / centquatre / einhundertvier / onehundredfour = small car 304 / troiscentquatre / dreihundertvier/ threehundredfour = middle car 504 / cinqcentquatre / fünfhundertvier / fivehundretfour / big car

My dad had it back in the early in 90 , 😂

My family bought a new one in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1986. We had it for a week before it was stolen at gunpoint in broad daylight by four guys with machine guns! Good riddance, I always found the duck tail kind of funny.

Ah... easy done. Here's the moment our narrator confuses a TR8 with an elephant. 3:21

First major car accident was in the Estate version and the thing was a tank. The King is dead, Long Live The King??

Islero S interests me more than the newer stuff. Miura as well.

What a cool looking car. I always wanted to know more about it. Thanks for the video.

At 2:12 - That doesn't look like a drum brake to me. Was the narrated by AI?

Five Oh Four. Not zero. We had a 1971 version. Somehow it delivered 110bhp 1971cc. We lamented not ordering the break/estate/ Touring. Ours was the salon with four speed manual transmission. It felt fast to me as an eight year old. I wish there was a 504 now in 2024. Simple, tough, reliable, economic, smooth riding, comfortable, full of character.

The fact that this didn't get made on fear of competing with the corvette is truly peak general motors. Bro should've gone to mopar.

I've never heard any Brit say 'drophead'. We call convertibles convertibles. You might find a fossil calling them a cabriolet, doncha know, but I've never actually witnessed it happening.

As a child in Uganda in the early 70’s, the 504 was the car that my father and other successful family members bought. It was reliable and perfect for the roads. Too bad the Europeans stopped making such reliable cars, nowadays, Toyotas are the king of the road in Uganda, and because of reliability, a majority of Ugandans buy Toyotas.

SORRY, but THIS Triumph WASN'T designed by Michelotti, who designed all the successful Triumphs of the 60's and 70's. THIS car was designed by Harris Mann, who designed the decidedly more attractive wedge, the PRINCESS of the 70's

Had a 87 bought new, but 88’s already out. So it was a leftover 87 Special Edition Conquest TSI silver with maroon leather. I traded in my 86 Olds 442 with 23K. mi. Couldn’t afford insurance, being only 19yrs old. Sold it, loved it very much. Decades later I bought a 88 Black on Black sunroof adjustable suspension model with the 1” wider factory wheels. The TiKco adjustable click manual struts were in need of replacing

How Mitsubishi went from making the likes of the Starion, Galant VR4, 3000GT/GTO and Evo to the rubbish they churn out now is a shame.

Great info, I had always been of the impression that the change to V8 had been a desperation move, so it is interesting to hear that it was already in the planning stages and ran into unfortunate times. Enjoying the channel!

I rebuilt a TR7 with a v8 for rallying it was the best car I enjoyed. All sideways

We had a 5 ooh4 super 7 bought from South Africa Peugeot was a king back in the day.

NObody called it the British Corvette. I worked for a BL store and drove dozens of these, I loved them.

Nobody forgot the Starion.

0:21 Is that a Triumph Stag in Magenta going through the traffic?

The TR7 V8 is a really fun car to drive.

Leyland BMC Jaguar range rover all unreliable CRAP

looks like a vette

The best thing about the car was the engine. The awful bumpers made what could have been a pretty car an ugly one.

My dad had one and I got to drive it quite a bit, lovely little sports car. I own a TR6, but I still <3 the TR8. My dad had a prototype coupé.

I am neither a TR7, nor a TR8 fan. However, your video was excellent and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.

Britain didnt get any but they ran a FACTORY RALLY TEAM in the WRC...

Terrific research and story telling; I thought I knew a fair amount, but lots of info and pictures were new to me!

If you can’t even get the basic right, then don’t make “historical” videos…👎🏼👎🏼

Many Asians would pronounce "Starrion" as Stallion, not the other way around of course, due to the difficulty of pronouncing the R

Hello , which country must i go on vacation next 2025 to see many of those 504?

I had an early version Starion. The heads had a tendency to crack and/or blow head gaskets. Mine cracked the head and died. Significant turbo lag, but kinda fun when the boost came on.
