That car looks like a Peugout (spelling may be wrong) 309. My dad used to have one, but something went seriously wrong with the front brake calipers, maybe a factory fault or just an isolated case. The diesel engine could really pull though, we got lots of steep hills round where I live, and with our huge ass family in it, it still went up the steepest in 4th gear.
Now in our 1.8 diesel (non turbo) Escort it's down to 2nd fully laden or 3rd with 2 passengers.
