The vehicle shown here ‘A221’ is a fabulous example of the 1904 9HP 2 Cylinder variant. These cars feature a conventional pedal layout, easy to master gearbox with 3 forward speeds and reverse and drive via a central propshaft. This example shows original coachwork with beautifully aged hand paintwork, the addition of a windscreen is of huge benefit for any November runs and magneto ignition has negated the need for charging of batteries.
‘A221’ is a vehicle that is well known to those in the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain having been owned by a past president of the club. The car was presumed to be kept in dry storage from the 1950s until the 1990s when it participated in the 1996 centenary London to Brighton Run. After this it was again stored until 2010. Because of the cars long periods of inactivity, it presents as a remarkably original example and one of only 4 survivors worldwide, 3 of which are dated by the VCC. In recent years the car has been subject to an engine overhaul by a well known specialist and very recently a gearbox rebuild and recommissioning by NP Veteran Engineering. Recent works included the addition of a ring gear to the flywheel so the fitment of an electric starter would be very easily achievable for a new owner, not that it’s needed as it starts very easily on the handle.
‘A221’ offers a new custodian the opportunity to purchase a very original, high quality 4 seat twin cylinder London to Brighton car that is one of the most powerful Brighton eligible Peugeots worldwide. Paperwork including V5C, Invoices, and receipts are included with the sale.
