Historical Significance
The Peugeot 201, produced from 1929 to 1937, was the first Peugeot to use the brand’s now-famous three-digit naming system with a “0” in the middle.
It was also one of the first mass-produced cars to feature independent front suspension (introduced in 1931), offering greatly improved comfort and handling for its time.
A total of around 142, 000 Peugeot 201s were built across all body styles, but very few survive today, particularly in such fine restored condition.
Summary
A stunning example of early 1930s French motoring — elegant, smooth-running, and historically significant.
This 1931 Peugeot 201 Berline (Saloon) combines originality, rarity, and reliability — a true collector’s piece, ready to drive or display with pride.
