Friends where to start, the body, engine or painting.
I found this "beauty" that brand??? is the year is 1935.
In this state in 32 years it was time to retrieve it and bring it back to life long project.

Bang some air in the tyres, change the oil, connect a battery, drive her home.  |

How about that interesting looking pick up next to it in the first photograph. That needs saving but what is it?

What a strange mix of ancient and modern!
Scuttle mounted fuel tank, side valve engine and coil sprung rear with inclined telescopic dampers! Oh, and a tiny steering wheel.

Add to that the fully framed door windows on a convertible, the spare wheel location with fitted cover and the 3 rectangular horizontal vents in the bonnet sides.
There MUST be enough diagnostics there to ring bells for someone.

Lovely lines but I think we're looking at a 'Bitza!'
No matter, cos IMHO it's well worth saving.
At risk of being shot down in flames.........
I'd set the body up on a jig, restore it, then fabricate a new chassis (or scrap a Toyota pick up) and see what happens.
Don't let the originality police rattle your cage. I reckon that started life as a Doctors Coupe body and the rear suspension is about 20 years newer than the rest of the frame. My money is on a failed hot rod project. |

This model is a 301 or 401 peugeot 1936, has an ID which after see which model is clean.
I'm heaving home for parties and I have to dig it up to look the part.
I found some information on this link http://www.club01.eu/ |

This one has a dickie rather than an opening boot but it's similar if you discount the framed doors.
Peter
No framed doors on the coupe either..

Hi
Well the bonnet matches and the front wing flare looks good as well.

Doesn't the fan say "peugeot" too.
The only part recognisable to me.
