Peugeot announces classic restoration programme

The programme, which is limited to Europe at this stage, will see suitable vehicles restored at the workshops of the Musée de l’Aventure Peugeot in Sochaux, France. Each completed vehicle will receive a certificate of authenticity before being made available for sale.

From early 2021, owners of Peugeot classics will be able to have their car fully or partially restored by the museum’s expert technicians.

The new programme will draw upon the knowledge and talent of the museum’s specialist craftspeople, from master technicians and former factory workers to body restorers, textile trimmers and sheet metal workers, all of whom will have a significant input in restoring each car to as-new condition.

Aventure Peugeot say they already have stocks of spare parts to support the programme, with traditional subcontractors used for any missing parts and advanced 3D printing techniques to remanufacture parts that are no longer in production.

The first Peugeot to be refurbished under the new programme is a 205 GTi 1.9L, finished in black.

From 2021, a dedicated resource will be available at www.laventurepeugeotcitroends.fr to sell and showcase these unique vehicles once they have received their “Par l’Aventure Peugeot” badging and certification.
