Mystery Peugeot

My dad bought this Peugeot back in 1973. Anyone know what it is?

Looks like a normal UO8, but I could be wrong.

Nah, you're right. Circa 1972 or 3. Looks all original

It's a keeper.

My Mimi is a 1968 or '69 white U08 just like this. However, she is almost through with a semi-restoration. I'll post pics when available. I love mine and use it in tri's and metrics. IT's sort of a "Frankenbike" but retains the style of the classic 40ish French babe she is.

Polish away the rust and freshen up the paint and cables and enjoy a nice ride.
