What makes it special

Introduced in 1938, the Peugeot 202 carries the streamlined lines characteristic of the "Sochaux fuselage" style, already adopted by the 302 and 402. More compact than the 302, it is notably distinguished by its close-set headlamps behind the grille. After production was interrupted during the Second World War, it returned to the assembly lines in 1945 and remained in the range until 1949.

This 1948 example, painted black with a red pinstripe and fitted with a beige interior, has been restored during the current period of ownership, which began in 2018. According to the seller, the bodywork was restored and repainted by a professional in 2023.

Several mechanical components have also been replaced over the last three years, including the petrol pump, the ignition system, the steering box, the exhaust and the rear brakes. Routine maintenance has continued, with particular attention paid to lubrication points. The car is kept in a garage, under a protective cover.

The serial numbers are stated to match. The car also has a French historic (collector's) registration document.
