On 9 August 1979, a happy young student handed over the registration document for his Peugeot 104 ZS to the Renault dealer in Perpignan, in part-exchange for the magnificent Bertone coupé we are presenting, and which has remained with the same family ever since. It is easy to understand this choice, since as well as offering first-rate performance, the GTV, which was sold new in France in September 1973, was finished in an unusual shade of green. The order form from the time confirms the trade-in, while a substantial file of bills shows the maintenance work carried out on the car. Among the major jobs done, the engine was completely rebuilt in 2012, and the car has covered little more than 7000 km since. In 2021, the bodywork was restored (bill for 20,000 €) and repainted in the Alfa Romeo colour of ‘Verde Bosco’, which is slightly different from the original shade that can still be seen in the engine bay. As a result, the underbody is very sound and the body cavities have been treated. All the body seals have been replaced and the upholstery restored. The aftermarket wheels on the car were already fitted when the car was bought in 1979 and are shod with nearly-new tyres, dating from 2023. In October 2025, the brakes were overhauled and the fluids changed. The engine is well set up and runs very satisfactorily, making this a desirable example in many respects.
