The African 504's were mostly assembled in Africa,they were tough cars which coped with Strip and Dirt roads very well,when away from our own country it is quite amusing to see different versions of familiar cars 
South Africa also built local versions of BMW's - the styling was a little odd compared to european cars !

Quote:Manufacturing continued in Nigeria and Kenya until 2006, utilising the Peugeot knock down kits. Kenya production was 27,000 units and the car remained on sale to 2007, being described as "King of the African road".[9] Egypt also had its own production facilities. In South Africa it was built by PACSA (Peugeot and Citroën South Africa) alongside the 404 until late 1978. Sigma Motor Corporation took over from PACSA in early 1979 and moved 504 production to their "Sigma Park" plant east of Pretoria.[1] South Africa received the two-liter and TI versions until mid-1976 when the lower priced 1800 L version was added. The L has a matt black grille and window surrounds, and did not receive bumper overriders. A similarly equipped L Wagon had arrived earlier in the year, to replace the discontinued 404 Wagon.[6]The car was assembled in various countries, under license of Peugeot. In Australia it was assembled by Peugeot's rival Renault, and sold through Renault Australia's dealer network.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peugeot_504#cite_note-TAM92-11][/url]
The Peugeot 504 is also one of the most common vehicles employed as a bush taxi in Africa.
In China, the 504 was produced in pickup form, with a four-door crew cab, a live rear axle, on an extended estate platform. These were built by Guangzhou Peugeot Automobile Company. Chinese production of the 504 pickup ceased in 1997, when the joint venture folded.
The Peugeot 504 was also produced in Argentina until 1999 by Sevel in El Palomar near Buenos Aires, in sedan, estate[10] and pickup forms. The pickup was manufactured in single and double cab with payload of over 1 tonne (1.300 kg ) from 1983-1997, and exported mainly to bordering countries.[10] In 1991 the later models were slightly restyled at the front and rear, with the lamps and bumpers changing design.[11] These cars were also given a new interior. Argentinian 504s offered the 1,971 cc petrol four-cylinder, or the 2,304 cc diesel.[11]
