Peugeot 203 History von Robert C. Amos aus Australien
...
Hi Jorg,
Thank you for the email
The 203 was my very first car,I was living in Tasmania
on a farm. My father said he once owned a peugeot
and was pleased that I had bought my 203.
It was always a good discussion point because of the
cars distinction. Some un-informed individuals called
it a Jowett Javelin (because of the similar sloping back)
much to my disgust!! -:(
My 203 was fitted with sliding roof, sometimes we would
remove the passenger seat and spotlight rabbits at night
on our paddocks.
I remember once my father and I carted a big ram (sheep)
home in the back after removing the rear seat.
I was fortunate having an excellent Peugeot dealer in Hobart,
he was just like another father to me.
I have a set of 12 Peugeot ring spanners.
Dad's Peugeot was a 201, I have an old photo of him
standing beside his car .
I will get my Peugeot 203 photos digitised and forward to you.
There are approximately 80 to 90 dealers in Australia
A few years ago there was a Dealer in Mildura, but they
have since closed down.
My friend has a 203C and many spare parts, the front end
of chassis needs rebuilding, remainder in good condition.
Thanks for the useful links, and your english is OK.
Recently I purchased a 1993 Peugeot 205Si
with 155,000kms and all the service history.
I hope you enjoy my story.
regards
Robert Amos
