Thanks to previous restoration and overhaul work the car is really in a beautiful condition, ready to enjoy the sun and cruising through small villages abroad.*Beautiful color combination and beautiful details*The exterior of this Peugeot is simply fantastic. The paint in Vert Foncé métallisé gives the car a stunning vintage look, while the chrome details have developed subtle patina, which only adds more to the charm of this French lady.

Every detail is beautifully finished and the whole thing feels like a time capsule of French luxury.*Fantastic driving characteristics*Under the hood we find the familiar 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which runs cleanly and responds smoothly to every press of the accelerator pedal. The clutch operates lightly, making driving enjoyable. The car offers surprisingly comfortable handling and is perfect for leisurely drives through the countryside or picturesque villages.

Falk personally chose the 403 after seeing ééone in the parking lot of the movie studio. Introduced in 1955 and designed by Pinin Farina, the 403 was powered by a 1,468 cc four-cylinder engine with overhead valves. During its production years, Peugeot built more than a million 403’s, but the convertible version remained a rarity, with only a small run of around 2,500 examples. This makes this convertible rare and sought-after.*Are you ready to fall in love with French elegance and style?*This 1959 Peugeot 403 Convertible offers the perfect combination of rarity, style and driving pleasure.
