It was purchased in Madeira over 20 years ago.
When he acquired it, he had to get down to work and fix the engine, as well as improve the bodywork.
In order to have the car in the brilliant way it is today, during the five years it took to recover it, he bought parts in France and England, and other parts he had to have made.
The Peugeot 202 was developed and designed by the French factory Peugeot.
Production of the car ran from 1938 to 1942 and, after a brief production run of 20 units in early 1945, it was restarted in mid-1946. It was sold until 1949, when it was replaced by the 203.
Production began in January 1938. It was formally launched on March 2, 1938 with a dinner and presentation for the specialized press in the elegant Bois de Boulogne district of Paris.
The previous fall, at the 1937 Paris Motor Show, Peugeot conducted a massive survey of booth visitors to find out what customers expected of the new small car then under development.
It's unclear whether there would still be time to incorporate any of the public's input into the launched car, but the participatory nature of the exercise certainly generated positive pre-launch publicity for the 202.
