I'm a little surprised this was available as early as 1983, but I know the all-Campy PZ-10 was still available in 1986, as I have one, plus the original 1986 catalog that came with it. I have unrepentantly rebuilt mine with all French components, mostly Mavic. But I think Peter's point, and mine earlier, was that Peugeot did in fact maintain "Tous Francais" equipment throughout the 70's and into the 80's, while most other French makers were offering Campy models in the early 70's and Gitane was even using Sugino Mighty cranks on some Tour de France examples in 1972 or 1973.

Hope you're sitting down Peter...
In 1983 and '84 Peugeot sold a model in Europe and the USA called the PZ 10 and PZ 10 D that was full Campagnolo (Record, Nuovo Record and Super Record mix of parts) with Cinelli bars and stem!!!
Frame was Reynolds 531 with long point lugs:
I don't know what other years the full Campy PZ 10 was offered, anyone know? "Tous Francaise" indeed!!!
Anyone else have info?
