Peugeot 203 C – 1957

French registration title
Not valid contrôle technique

Developed in part under the German occupation but first marketed in 1948 (along with the 2 CV, it was one of the stars of the Motor Show that year), the 203 was Peugeot’s first mass-produced car with a self-supporting body.
Along with the Citroën 2 CV and the Renault 4 CV, the car played a key role in the recovery of early post-war France: almost 686,000 examples were produced before production ended in 1960, and for several years the 203 was the only civilian car in Peugeot’s catalogue.
In its day, it was considered a reliable, economical and manoeuvrable machine, and even shone in rallying. Released in early 1957, this Peugeot 203C embodies the automotive elegance of the Trente Glorieuses.
It is presented in beautiful condition with its attractive light blue paintwork and fabric interior. In good working order, and accompanied by a few maintenance invoices, its latest roadworthiness test is nevertheless under review (available on request) and its purchaser will need to carry out some minor work before setting off to discover rural France and the back roads at its wheel.
Note that the car is equipped with a sunroof: a real plus for this popular car, which is just waiting to get back on the road!
