It was a brand-new 6 CV, a very popular category at the time. Its aerodynamic design featured a plunging line and headlights integrated behind the grille. On the technical front, the 202 is modern: it has a 1,133 cm³ overhead-valve engine with an alpax cylinder head, and independent front-wheel suspension. Top speed is 100 km/h, and fuel consumption is between 7 and 8 liters per 100 km. The range of body styles offered by Peugeot was quite comprehensive, including a "Canadian" version. Wooden station wagons, as they were called, were initially intended for utility use, to transport equipment or goods. Later, these same bodies would become known as "hunting station wagons", finding their place in the hunting activities of high society. This example has benefited from a meticulous three-year restoration, according to its owner (no invoice). The woodwork, meticulously inspected and restored by a cabinetmaker specializing in vintage vehicles, has been faithfully restored where necessary, using appropriate materials. The original upholstery, protected by covers, is in excellent condition. The mechanics, currently seized up, have not undergone any specific intervention. A 202 chassis with engine is included, to be recovered from its owner. 1949 PEUGEOT 202 UH Canadian - French registration document - Serial number 202 UH 745081 - Sold without MOT Peugeot unveiled the '202' model in January 1938.
