And now for something truly special – a wonderful lefthand drive Peugeot 403 Pickup, that may even be familiar to you if you’re a regular attender of classic race meetings or the Eroica Britannia retro cycling events, for which it’s acted as a service vehicle. The pickup had just four owners from new, the first of which was a French family from whom the renowned Bugatti guru and race driver Ivan Dutton purchased it in 2014 in order to tow his competition car. It then passed into the hands of the equally well-known racer Martin Overington, who’s also the current owner of the Hotel de France, that’s inextricably linked with the great Aston Martin and Ford racing teams of yore, and the incomparable 24 Heures du Mans race – both men are listed on the Peugeot’s V5. The Peugeot is finished in a pleasing shade of Turkis Blue and trimmed in a mix of grey fabric and blue vinyl.

The Pickup’s handy specification includes a good quality tilt that’s less than 10 years old, plus a tow hook and related electrics. Recent maintenance has involved an engine rebuild and replacement of the clutch and suspension bushes, plus a full lubrication service. The vendor presently classes the four-cylinder engine as ‘excellent’, and the four-speed column change gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’, and adds that ‘863 UYE’ ‘has always been dry stored during his tenure and starts easily and drives well’. He is now offering this delightful and rare Peugeot complete with a spare wheel and a host of spare parts (including a very rare and valuable phosphor bronze crown wheel and pinion), a comprehensive history file that includes various magazine articles (eg a four-pager from the Classic & Vintage Commercials publication), and numerous other items of paperwork. An unrepeatable opportunity.

In summary:

• A splendid and rare period Peugeot Pickup
• Just four owners including a pair of well-known racing drivers
• The perfect tender for the world’s top classic race meetings
