Naming "Mr Percy"

When I picked up the vehicle, the seller had told me that the name of the car was "Percy", because it was a "Peugeot". 

I usually do not associate cars with any gender. Some men do this, and for them all machinery is somewhat female. Probably for these men, the reverse is also true... For me, machinery is always neutral, it is "it", not "she". But here I felt that it would be fitting to call this vehicle "Mr Percy".
