Peugeot 203 C 1957

The 1957 Peugeot 203 C is a car that represents an era when simplicity, elegance and reliability were paramount. The 203 was the first car produced by Peugeot after World War II, marking the brand's resurrection. Launched in 1948, the 203 quickly became popular thanks to its innovative engineering and robust build quality. It was the first Peugeot with a self-supporting body and a modern four-cylinder engine with overhead camshaft - technical marvels that ensured reliable and comfortable handling. The 203 was a car beloved not only in France, but also abroad, thanks to its versatility and reliability.

This particular example, from a private collection, has been registered on Dutch registration plates since 1979 and has had only two owners in all that time. The car was put on the road for an extended period of time, but has not seen the road since, which means that maintenance will be required before it can return to traffic. Still, the charm of this Peugeot is evident; it is largely in original, unrestored condition, something rare for a car of this age.

The 203 C was a later version of the model and is characterized by refinements that further improved comfort and performance. The 1.3-liter engine was reliable and powerful enough to cover long distances with ease, something Peugeot was focusing on at the time. The comfortable seats and spacious interior made the 203 suitable for both city driving and long trips through the French countryside. It was a middle-class car, but its solid design and refined handling made it popular with a wide audience.

Exempt from road tax and MOT requirements, this Peugeot 203 C is a wonderful opportunity for the enthusiast looking for an honest and largely original classic. The unrestored character gives the car an authentic look, with every detail telling its own story. For the future owner who is willing to invest some time in necessary maintenance, this 203 C offers a unique opportunity to go back in time and enjoy the understated elegance and charm of one of Peugeot's iconic models.

To get a good idea of the car, we recommend coming to a viewing day.
