This old photograph is likely of the same car in the post above (4599131). The owner of 4599131 and I are pretty much convinced of it. It was on display in Nairobi in 1966 on a Marshall's (the Kenyan Peugeot importer) stand at a trade show prior to its delivery to the first owner. The plate on this car "INJ 404" is a false one, just indicating that the car has a KF2 engine.  404CMarshalls1966 by Mike Tippett, on Flickr |

After a dearth of additions for over a month, I have found a couple more 404Cs: 4595349, Cabriolet Injection, 14 janvier 1965, Bleu Clair Métallisé 1158, Cuir Noir 2000, Car has the post-1966 front end, probably replaced after a collision, engine from a 504 TI, but the KF2 engine is still with the car, LIGNY-LE-RIBAULT FRANCE  4596602, Carrosserie 8403(?), Cabriolet Injection, 07 juillet 1965, Bleu Ciel 1041, Cuir Noir 2000, For sale December 2015 at Karel Verhoeven as a restoration project car around 12K Euros, complete but needs a lot of work, HAAREN PAYS BAS  Total: 1987 ! (you will notice that the total has not increased despite the addition of two more cars. This is because I discovered when doing some quality control a month ago that two records were duplicated in the database. The reason for the duplication is that there were 21 cars in the Registry that were identified by their Carrosserie Peugeot number only. These two were later found to be in the main database of a total of 1966 cars that are identified by serial number. So they were removed and the two new ones make up for them, but the total remains at 1987. Of which 19 are registered by Carrosserie Peugeot number only...) voorraad.autodatawheelerdelta.nl/peugeot/404-cabriolet/met-frans-kenteken-en-alle-onderdelen-169-fotos/occ2027375-e4ab5?detail_template=voorraadlijst_awd_modern_fotos_origineel;pid=true |
