As confirmed by a copy of the delivery slip as sent to us by the Aventure Peugeot Citroën DS, this Peugeot 201 Coupé is a "de luxe" version which was distinguishable from the "affaires" model by its chrome bumpers and headlamps, an interior in "1st choice" cloth, as well as an on-board clock. It was delivered on November 26, 1930, to the Peugeot agent in Amiens for the price of 16, 277 Francs. Its current owner acquired it in 2009 in the north of France after the car had had a comprehensive restoration. The body features an elegant midnight blue shade, underlined by black fenders and white piping. The chrome has been redone and is in good condition. Inside the charming little cabin, the cloth upholstery has been completely restored, as have the seats and backrests, redone in imitation leather as was the original car. The dashboard is complete, functional and conform to the original, with the exception of the clock, which is more recent. Our drive showed satisfactory operation, the mechanicals start at the first crank, and the braking is as it should be. Only the tires and the battery will need to be replaced to take full advantage of this rare and charming model, which has had the benefit of a very good restoration.
Auction estimate: €8 000 /€12 000 - without reserve price
