History of the Peugeot 404
Built between 1960-1975, the Peugeot 404 was a large family car of which 1,847,568 were built in France. It was initially offered as a saloon, estate and pickup with a convertibel and coupe version offered later on and would enjoy success as a taxicab due to its fantastic durability and value (though less so in the UK due to import taxes).
The original 404 was powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine, with choices for a Solex carburettor, Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, and a 1.9-litre diesel engine. As an alternative to the normal column-mounted manual transmission, a 3-speed ZF automatic transmission, identical to the type previously available on select BMW models, was introduced as an option at the Paris Motor Show.
