Special edition celebrating 110 years of Peugeot motorcycles
Never originally imported into Britain
Nearly-new condition showing nine delivery kilometres
Peugeot introduced its 103 moped in 1971, and as with most mopeds of the time, sales soared thanks to the early ’70s fuel crisis. Where Peugeot had the edge over rival 50s from the likes of Honda and Puch was in the style stakes; in true Parisian fashion, the 103 Vogue model offered chic transfers in bright colours that would appeal to the more fashion-conscious buyer. The model was long-lived, experiencing updates in 1988 and 1996. Much later, in 2012, to celebrate its 110th anniversary as a motorcycle manufacturer, Peugeot wound back the clock and offered a retrospectively-styled Vogue. While the colour scheme was updated, in terms of its operations it remained refreshingly analogue; unnecessary encumbrances such as electric indicators and an automatic fuel-oil mixer were omitted—it was like sitting on a 1970s time machine, and the price was under 1, 000 euros.
To the best of our understanding, this edition of the Vogue was never sold in Britain, and consequently this represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a highly collectable machine in nearly-new condition. Surely one of the most charming two-wheelers of this century, it has never been registered and has covered just nine delivery kilometres.
