The Appeal
Sleek Pininfarina styling with neat detailing, practical 2+2 seating and rugged mechanicals gave buyers of Peugeot's 404 cabriolet the best of all worlds. They were well built too.
The 404 Cabriolet was a very rare sight in RHD, just 79 being built during the car's long run. This pretty 1967 example is one of just six surviving in the UK.
It is fitted with the fuel-injected engine. That delivers a healthy 95bhp, making this spacious and practical convertible the ideal candidate for a trip down the autoroute to the South of France.

Opening the door to this Peugeot’s interior reveals a beautifully appointed cabin with supportive black leather seats and a contrasting set of red carpets. The seats appear to have hardly been sat in, and their generally excellent condition suggests that they have been retrimmed at some point. Similarly, the carpets appear so clean and tidy that they could well also be new.
The front passengers are treated to the luxury of having seatbelts and the fantastic view out over the stylish dashboard. It is a very original interior including the broad steering wheel comes and column gear change. Under the dashboard, the wiring loom can be seen, and could benefit from being tidied up a little.
The body appears to be in generally very good condition throughout, with good panel gaps and smart lines. There are very few chips and scratches to be seen, and the chrome plated trim is similarly undamaged. The lamp lenses look clear and bright, and the fabric cabriolet hood looks smart and tidy, its panoramic rear window allowing excellent visibility.
Underneath, the car looks very solid from what we could see. There is, of course, the usual amount of surface corrosion to be seen, but there doesn’t appear to be any obvious damage to report. Steel wheels complete the car, and they carry large chrome hubcaps. The tyres all appear to retain good tread.
The Mechanics
- Fuel-injected four-cylinder engine
- Engine canted at an angle to allow a low bonnet line
- Rear-wheel drive
Lifting the low bonnet of this Peugeot reveals a tidy engine bay and a four cylinder engine. But all is not quite what you might expect: The engine is mounted at a jaunty angle in order to reduce its height and allow for that rakishly low bonnet line.
The suspension components and running gear look to be in good order, with a little surface rust but no major issues we could see. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual transmission, with a steering column mounted gearshift.
Power figures are reported to be 95 bhp, thanks to the fuel injection, with a maximum speed of 104 mph. A very respectable performance for a small-engined ‘60s saloon.
