My first car ( 1961 Peugeot 403), wish I could find one now. Remember being stopped by NY State police often and told to" put some air in those tires" as Americans were unfarmiliar with Michelin X radial ply tires. Also remember the "town and country" horn," four on the tree" shift pattern , sun roof and fuel filler hidden under the left tail light.
Why is the steering wheel on upside down? My first car when I was 17 in 1969 was a Peugeot 403 brought back from Saigon by a U S soldier. It was the same blue color as this car, engine appears the same. I paid $75 for the car in Amarillo, Texas. Drove it all summer and sold it for $110. It was a fun car!
It depends on your preference to use the horn. I do not think the wheel is upside down, but in this case the horn is situated for someone who keeps his hands at the 2 - 10 position on a clock, sort of speak... The one you bought was probably set for someone driving the lazy way, with his or her hands low on the wheel. :)
Tough as old boots apart from the sills which were the first part to rust. A great winner of the African Safari Rally and I managed to bend a British Rail car-park angle iron…noproblem
Wonderful design and even was smooth and dynamic comparing to that era 403 from the legend from Peugeot and who has one of it that as treasure
La chère Peugeot 403 . . .tu es la reine de la route de tous les temps.
