Well, patent infringements aren't the problem: the issue is that of
copyright and trademark. As the trademarks haven't been used for many a
year, they are probably all lapsed by now. The copyright might be a
tougher issue but, under US law, at least, you probably don't need
permission to reproduce a Rootes Group publication.
A quick message to Peugeot should resolve this, in any event. I cannot
believe they would object, after thirty years, to the reproduction of
Rootes Group material.
