The appeal

The Peugeot 403 is one of the iconic French cars of the 1950s and 1960s. It combined understated styling, comfortable handling and a design suited to everyday use. Its classic proportions, spacious interior and relatively simple mechanics contributed to its success and the continued interest it generates amongst classic car enthusiasts.

With 74,562 km on the odometer, this example is a well-preserved car with a notable degree of authenticity. It comes from the collection of a classic car enthusiast who is said to have carefully preserved several vehicles. According to the information provided, the car arrived at the seller’s workshop in running order and has been stored indoors since its acquisition.

No mechanical repairs or modifications are reported to have been carried out by the seller, meaning the car is presented in a condition very similar to that in which it was acquired. The bodywork, chassis and underbody are described as being in very good condition.

Mechanically, the 1.3-litre engine is said to start easily and run smoothly, whether cold or warm. The four-speed manual gearbox is also said to operate correctly, as are the braking system and suspension, according to the seller. However, a small carburettor gasket needs replacing, and routine servicing is recommended before regular use, given the car’s limited recent mileage.
