Description

Panhard PL17 Spare Parts Catalogue No. 14 – 1960 to 1964

The Panhard PL17 Spare Parts Catalogue No. 14 is the illustrated factory parts book issued by the Societe Anonyme des Anciens Etablissements Panhard & Levassor for the 1960 to 1964 model years. It covers the PL17 saloon in its L1 to L8 forms, the WL1 to WL6 utilitaires, the PL17 L8 Cabriolet and the Dyna Z / Dyna D 65 references that appear in the shared tables, listing every component by the part number Panhard used when the cars were current. Across 238 pages the catalogue works through eight groups – engine, clutch and transmission, suspension, steering, braking, fuel and air, electrical equipment and body – presenting each assembly as an exploded plate with the numbered parts listed beside it and, where a part changed during production, a table that ties the change to a chassis number or a mine type code. For anyone maintaining or restoring a Panhard PL17, that pairing of illustration and identification is what makes this catalogue worth having.

What the Panhard PL17 Spare Parts Catalogue No. 14 Contains

This is not a workshop manual that tells you how to rebuild an engine. It is the document you reach for once you already know which component you need and now have to find the correct part number, confirm that the number suits your particular car and describe it accurately enough to order. Every group opens with a plate: a numbered exploded drawing of the assembly, cylinder head, gear train, brake plate, wiring layout or door frame, with the numbers keyed to a list of part numbers and descriptions. Alongside the plates sit the tables that make the catalogue usable on a car built anywhere between 1959 and 1964.

Read end to end, the eight groups cover a complete PL17 or utilitaire from crankshaft to tailgate. The detail is what you would expect from a factory parts book of the period: not just a single number for an assembly, but the bolts, washers, joints, seals, springs and clips that hold it together, each with its own reference. Where a component was revised during production, the catalogue does not simply print the latest number and leave you to work it out. It prints both, and gives you the chassis number or engine sequence number at which the change took effect.

Identifying the Right Parts by Chassis Number and Mine Type

Panhard built the PL17 and the utilitaires across a series of production types, and the catalogue is organised around them. Early pages reproduce the identification table for the codes and indices stamped on the mine plate, listing the first chassis number of each type and the month from which it was built. Saloon types L1 through L8 and utility types WL1 through WL6 each have their own column, and the parts plates carry footnotes telling you which type or which chassis number a given plate applies to. Engine parts add a further layer: the engines are identified as M5 or M6, with separate tables for the M5-848, M5-850 and M6-040 assemblies and sequence numbers for tourism, Grand Standing, Tigre, Jaeger and Taxi versions. Cylinders, liners and pistons are grouped by class and by the number of piston grooves, and the catalogue prints the measurement ranges you use to decide which liner class to fit.

Because of this, a buyer can take a chassis number, an engine number or a mine plate code and work back to the exact part that left the factory on that car – rather than fitting whatever is currently being sold as a generic PL17 part.

How the Factory Wanted Orders Filled Out

The front of the catalogue devotes a full page to ordering instructions, and it is worth reading before you use the rest of the book. Panhard asked dealers to order monthly rather than on demand, to state on every order whether it was a monthly stock order or a breakdown order, and to quote the part number, the exact and complete description as printed on the catalogue plate, the vehicle type and the chassis number. Orders were to be placed in numerical order of part numbers, and kept separate for Dyna Z, Dyna D 65, PL17 and utilitaires, for older cars, for trucks and for trim. Telephone orders were accepted for a maximum of six lines only. For any fabric or trim request, a sample large enough to identify the colour had to be enclosed along with the chassis number. Anyone ordering parts for a Panhard today can follow the same discipline: this catalogue gives you every field the factory needed.

Who This Panhard PL17 Parts Book Is For

Owners of a running PL17 who need to replace a worn or broken component will use it to identify what they are looking at and what it is called. Restorers of a dismantled car will use it to work out what is missing and what the correct fasteners, seals and clips look like. Parts specialists and club members who keep a stock of Panhard components will use it to catalogue what they hold and to answer enquiries from other owners. Workshops that occasionally see a PL17 or a utility Panhard will use it to quote a job accurately instead of pricing from guesswork. The exploded plates are also useful on their own as assembly references when a component has to come apart and go back together in the right order.
