1931 PEUGEOT Type P111 N° 131678 350 cm3 Collector's... Lot 9

1931 PEUGEOT Type P111 N° 131678 350 cm3 Collector's registration 2 000 / 4 000 € In the mid-1920s, Peugeot marketed its first four-stroke engine, a 350 cm3 model. A strong selling point for many potential customers; no messy, exposed primary drive to a separate gearbox, but engine and gears in a neat, clean box. Within a few years, this concept became very popular, and by 1930 there was a choice of 174 cm3 (P 109), 215 cm3 (P110), 248 cm3 (P 108), 327 cm3 (P111) and 346 cm3 (P105 and P 107) models. The logic of the system isn't very transparent, is it? All the machines were equipped with side valves, with the exception of the sportiest model, the OHV P 105. Peugeot was able to increase its market share considerably: in 1927, 9947 machines were produced, and by 1930 this had risen to 18,602 units, an increase of 85% in just four years. The P 111 was introduced in autumn 1930 and remained in the catalog for three years. The file includes some invoices from the previous owner, a parts manual, various rally photographs and the complete restoration. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the customary recommissioning due to the immobilization of these machines in the collector's museum. We recommend that future purchasers carry out the customary restarts required by the immobilization of these machines in the collector's museum.
