Description
1955 PEUGEOT AIGLON TRIPORTEUR Unregistered - comes with French transfer of ownership documents - no HMRC paperworkFrame number: 1870956Engine number: UnknownA wonderfully characterful French commercial motor-tricycle, the Peugeot Aiglon Triporteur offers an appealing combination of vintage utility, continental charm and considerable advertising potential. Developed during the post-war years, these ingenious three-wheeled delivery vehicles were designed to meet the demands of French shopkeepers, market traders and small businesses. With two front wheels supporting a capacious cargo box and a single driven rear wheel, the configuration provided a practical means of transporting goods through busy town streets, while retaining the mechanical simplicity of a motorcycle-derived powertrain. The Triporteur’s distinctive appearance, with its prominent front cargo compartment, tubular steel framework and period styling, makes it an especially engaging alternative to the more familiar British commercial vehicles of the era. Equally at home as a collector’s piece or an eye-catching display vehicle, it lends itself particularly well to sympathetic restoration or commercial signwriting. Appearing largely original, this unregistered example presents an excellent opportunity for the new owner to create something truly individual. Whether employed as a vintage shop display, used to promote a business at events and shows, or added to a collection of unusual European commercial vehicles, its possibilities are considerable. As French as a baguette and a wedge of cheese, this charming Peugeot Aiglon Triporteur is a rare and distinctive survivor from an era when even the smallest businesses had their own unmistakable style of delivery vehicle.
