Peugeot took the time to develop the 203 properly. It had to be up to the task - it was the first car produced by the marque after the war, and even its only model at the time, which broke new ground with its advanced monocoque construction.
The result was convincing, as this elegant 1954 version testifies. Fluid lines, spacious interior and a powerful yet economical 1.3-litre engine. This version from the last years of production benefits from the improvements made by Peugeot from 1952 onwards, including an increase in power and deflectors on the front windows to improve interior comfort.
The history of this car is fascinating. It was won in a lottery and then given to the local priest to help him with his pastoral visits. Later, it belonged to the president of the Herbignac classic car collectors' association, from whom the seller acquired it.
It is in very good condition, with a sober black finish and a grey velvet and vinyl interior. It is also pleasantly original - even the starter, recently replaced by the vendor, is original.
This post-war car is stylish, very practical and in excellent condition. Hard to resist.
This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making a bid, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photographs and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
