help identifying Peugeot
this Peugeot has been in my garage for over 20 years... and I am looking to sell it. I have no idea what year or model it is and was hoping to get some information on it before I set a price. I think the serial number is 382282 (see picture). thanks for any help you can give me.

I believe that is an early seventies AE8. Entry level mixte (lower top bar, as opposed to a diamond frame) type frameset. Six digit serial number suggest sixties, but the decal set suggests a bit later.

If the crankset is original, I would guess late 1970s, but the decal set sure looks like early 1970s, when the downtube shifters would have been used, as well. Thiis looks like the mixte equivalent of the AO-8 (AO-18??? AE8, as you suggest???), but this is a model I have never seen before. The lack of quick release on the hubs and the lack of chrome on the forks is consistent with the AO-8, but the AO-8 had low-flange, rather than high-flange, hubs.
