Of the almost three million Peugeot 404s built worldwide, over a third were made outside of the of the manufacturer’s home nation in France.

The car had a superb combination of impressive build quality and sharp styling courtesy of Pininfarina, coupled to simple, rugged running gear that made it ideal for export. It was, for a time, also the world’s most popular taxi cab.

It made its debut at the 1960 Paris Motor Show and went on to enjoy a 15-year production run, with manufacturing facilities as far afield as Argentina, Canada, Chile and several sub-Saharan African countries.

it was offered in various body styles, a saloon, a convertible, an estate car and even a pick-up truck, which remained in production until 1988.

This example is one of the last passenger cars built and also a hugely useful estate car. It dates from 1975 and was constructed at Peugeot’s CKD factory in Transvaal, South Africa

The real beauty of this car is that it is understood to be unrestored and even better its original cream paint work that it had when it left the factory in South Africa.

It isn’t perfect, but then what could you expect from a 45 year old car that has never been painted? The whole core to this cars appeal is its startling originality. You will not find another one like i

This is a wonderfully preserved and completely unrestored example of what is now a very rare classic that – in its day – was one of the most well-respected cars in the world.

There are one or two cosmetic areas that could be improved if the next owner desired. However, much of the appeal of this car lies in its completely original and undisturbed patina, which gives it an unquestionable charm.
