Peugeot - 204 - NO RESERVE - 1973

GENERAL The Peugeot 204 is a historic model fundamental to the French marque, produced between 1965 and 1976. Designed by Pininfarina, it was a revolutionary vehicle for its time, adopting a front-wheel-drive layout with a transverse-mounted light-alloy engine, something very advanced for mid-60s standards. This unit in particular is a Peugeot 204 from 1973 with 106,000 kilometers on the odometer. It is an exceptionally rare specimen and of great value to Spanish collectors, as it is one of the few Peugeot 204s that were imported and originally sold in Spain during the 1970s, a period when high import tariffs made seeing these cars on Spanish roads a real privilege. The car has spent its entire life in Spain, sheltered from the dry climate of Castile and León, which greatly favored its preservation over the decades. As a distinctive, highly exclusive feature of the era, this vehicle comes from the factory with the original sliding roof. BODYWORK AND PAINT The bodywork remains in strictly original condition. It has not undergone any restoration process, but it is very well preserved. The paint on most panels appears to be factory-original, so there are no modern repaints, although over time it would noticeably benefit from a full polishing job to recover its shine. Thanks to always remaining in Castile and León’s dry environment, the structure has been protected from extreme humidity. MECHANICS In terms of mechanics, the car is equipped with the drivetrain configuration characteristic of the Series 204. However, the vehicle has been out of circulation for several years and has not been on the road. Because of this period of inactivity, the car will need a complete mechanical inspection and a thorough service of all components and fluids before safely putting it back into operation. INTERIOR The interiors are presented in good original condition, retaining the upholstery and trim as they left the factory. The cabin shows some signs of wear that are completely normal and logical given the car’s use and age, but it preserves all its authenticity and the essence of 1970s Peugeot models, including the convertible sunroof mechanism. PICK-UP The vehicle is available for inspection and collection in Pozuelo de Alarcón, located in the Community of Madrid, Spain. The buyer must arrange logistics and transportation from this location upon pickup.
