1970 PA-10.
Integral derailleur hanger and head lug design rules out UO-8, as do the lacks of downtube pump pegs and top tube brake cable stops.
7-digit S/N starting w/ 0 = 1970.
No Reynolds sticker rules out PR-10 and PX-10.
Cottered crank, 52-45 gearing, screams PA-10, assuming it's original.

Yep. I rescued a rusty one like that from the neighbors curb. A little heavy but it rides fast and smooth.

this is the first red flambouyant example have seen
recall the boom era ones we received in California as only coming in white with black trim
wonder if it may have been produced for other than the U.S. market...
AHA! see from poster's page that country of residence be Portugal
did the MAFAC road levers with plastic bodies exist as early as 1970, recall them as appearing a little bit later

Thank you a lot for the input.
I am from Portugal, Lisbon, indeed.
Also came with a pair of tubuluar Mavic Championnat du Monde Rims with Normandy high flange hubs saying 78 (guess not original).
It's not that rusty. The paint seems to have fallen off at some point, either sun burnt (sun screen prevents your skin...) or somebody wanted the bicycle to be grey.
I actually like the Patina, so I plan to replace those cranks for some alloy ones, leave all the parts shinning with autosol and use something to protect and prevent the frame to rust.
Like John has said, it's likely a PA-10 and I believe it was originally orange.
Like the one same collour of this picture which is a more recent Peugeot PA-10:

thank you for the additional information and sample picture
1974 was the final model year for the PA-10 with steel chainset
here is a U.S. market catalogue page for the 1974 PA-10
here is a Japan market catalogue page showing the PA-10E of 1973
if you have the bicycle's original gear mechs they may exhibit a date of manufacture as in these examples -
finish -
colours in the red family get faded by the sun's UV radiation
fading of opaques is only moderate
fading of flambouyants can be complete as on your cycle
one is left with the colour of the undercoat/basecoat
thanks for sharing your bicycle with the forum!
all best to Lusitania

As I was saving for my first road bike, the PA-10 caught my eye. Decent lugs and ends, tubulars. Problem was a cottered crank.
only saw them in white.
fortunate that I continued saving for another 20 months. I knew that buying that and systematically improving it was going to result in spending more and having a bunch of excess components.

I found a 1971 PA 10 in blue. Very nice ride with Veloflex tubulars. I replaced the Delrin brake levers with Weinmanns for safety's sake.
