"Nice model, but the condition leaves something to be desired."

Description

A car in need of some attention. The Peugeot has been previously restored, but the results didn’t reach a high standard. Please review the photos carefully. For someone handy, the car can be improved. At the time of the photoshoot, the car did not start due to a missing starter motor. According to the owner, it has since been installed and the engine is working. A number of loose parts are included in a bag, as seen in the photos, but we cannot confirm if all parts of the car are present.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Technically, we don’t know much about the condition since the car was not started or driven during our inspection. It does have a new battery.

  • Interior condition:

    Reupholstered interior, though the work is not professionally done. The door panels appear to be mounted with “drywall screws.” Some handles and window cranks are missing. The headliner is sagging

  • Exterior condition:

    Older paint job with color variations between the different panels. There are some dents and paint damage. The weld seams are rough, and the welding work does not meet professional standards. The weather seals are dry and cracked.

  • General condition:

    Low-quality restoration. The intention and ambition were likely there, but the knowledge and/or experience for such work was lacking. The car should be considered a restoration project.

Facts about the model

The history of the Peugeot family business dates back to a time before Gustav Vasa. In 1810, the foundation of what is today’s Peugeot was laid, as they transitioned from milling operations to the metal industry. By the late 19th century, Peugeot was active in many industrial sectors across several locations in the Doubs region, situated where the French, German, and Swiss borders meet. One of these sectors was bicycle manufacturing, an idea Armand Peugeot had picked up in England. By 1889, they had already produced a prototype for a self-propelled vehicle, a steam-powered tricycle.

Armand Peugeot had strong connections with René Panhard and Émile Levassor, through whom he gained access to combustion engines that Levassor produced under license from Daimler in Germany. In 1891, Peugeot produced their first automobile with an in-house chassis and a licensed engine, simply called the Type 2. One of these became the first automobile to arrive in Sweden, showcased at an industrial exhibition in Gothenburg in 1891.

Like many companies at the time, Peugeot split its operations into the older and the newer motorized industries. Often, there was uncertainty about the new technologies, and it was frequently a generational issue within family dynasties. From 1901, the new company under Armand Peugeot produced automobiles under the name SA des Automobiles Peugeot, while the older company, led by an uncle and three cousins, continued to manufacture industrial and metal products under the name Le fils de Peugeot Frères. However, by 1906, the branch of the company producing bicycles and motorized two- and three-wheelers also began manufacturing automobiles under the name Lion-Peugeot. Naturally, competition arose, but over the following years, the operations gradually merged, and by 1913, they operated under a single banner, SA des Automobiles et Cycles Peugeot. At this point, different branches and generations of the Peugeot family could finally make peace.

The 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s saw significant growth and development, with numerous models sold in large numbers. Peugeot produced everything from simpler cars to pure sports and luxury vehicles, with notable success on racing circuits in Europe and the U.S., particularly in Indianapolis. By the late 1920s, with the release of the Type 190, Peugeot took a bold step and launched the new 201 model, starting a new numbering system. Always featuring a zero in the middle, the first digit indicated the car’s size segment.

In the 1930s, Peugeot introduced the 301 series, which included the first all-steel convertible in 1933. The trend of streamlined designs followed in the 202, 302, and 402 model series. During this period, Peugeot also built the iconic Darl’mat cars based on the 302 and 402 models, and they experimented extensively with diesel engines, V8s, and automatic transmissions—until the war broke out.
