The Peugeot 203 was designed after World War II, the first monocoque bodied vehicle produced by the French marque, built from 1948 to 1960 and the only vehicle they manufactured between the 202 and 403. Its contemporary and streamlined look ensured it was a sales success on the world market and were built in France and Australia.
Peugeot’s 203 enjoyed rally success in the 1950s & 60s, demonstrating the quality of their engineering, when a stock 203 claimed outright victory in the 1953 Redex Reliability trial covering 10,458 kms over Australia’s harsh road network.
