Peugeot auctions rare classic, race and concept cars

French auto brand Peugeot has commissioned independent auctioneers Aguettes to manage the sale of vehicles from its historic collection.


Each auction lot comes from the 'Musée de l’Aventure Peugeot', or Peugeot Adventure museum. It is a dedicated facility located four and half hours out of central Paris, and houses many rare treasures from the brand, as well as well-kept versions of its regular mass-production vehicles.

Going up for grabs is a wide selection of French metal, including a few lots from Peugeot's sister brand, Citroën. Alongside vehicles, a selection of memorabilia relating to both brands is also going under the hammer.

The auction is set to take place at the Peugeot Adventure museum in Sochaux, France, on Sunday the 20th of September, 2020. Interested parties can also bid online.

Those registered will have the opportunity to purchase rarities such as a 'grand raid' spec, all-wheel drive, supercharged 405 Mi-16 which was built under the guidance of the Peugeot Sport team, as well as a peculiar Citroën Xsara 'Windows CE' edition which was the first car to feature an on-board computer with voice recognition technology.

If you're considering bidding on a vehicle or two, bear in mind that all lots are left-hand drive. That means in order to apply full registration to your recent purchase, it would first have to be at least 30 years of age, and then also pass other state-based requirements, including a roadworthy inspection.

We've picked five of our favourites from the upcoming auction below:

Peugeot 504 Coupe. Why? It's beautiful. Guide price: EUR€11,000 - 14,000.
