Peugeot 404 Coupe SL Injection – A Rare French Classic

Price: €34,995             Year: 1968                              Kilometers: 29,827 (indicated)

The Peugeot 404 Coupe is widely regarded as one of the most elegant French coupes ever built, and this example in light blue metallic is a true standout. Originally discovered in Sweden with a retired Peugeot mechanic, it later found its way to the Netherlands, where it underwent a comprehensive restoration. The car received a complete repaint, brand-new upholstery, replaced chrome trim, and refreshed interior details. The engine and cylinder head have been fully overhauled, ensuring it runs as beautifully as it looks.

In 2018, the previous owner acquired this 404 via a German classic car auction and has since maintained it with the utmost care. The 404 Coupe is particularly rare, as many were converted into cabriolets. While it shares its body with the convertible, finding a coupe in excellent, original condition is extremely uncommon.

Thanks to its fuel-injected engine and well maintained mechanical condition, this car drives wonderfully. Even by today’s standards, the engine runs smoothly, and the gearbox shifts effortlessly. Driving this coupe is a true pleasure—it’s the kind of car that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
