interestingly restored 203; three armrests in the back ( ? ) more original under the hood except X1743836X and no big id plate, just the strip ( 1345219 )
 
Re the 203, is 1951 the correct year? Was the big back window and fuel filler cap with lid introduced that early? Apart from the earlier boot handle/number plate light this looks just like my '55 203C (and the motor sounds just as rattly...)
Three armrests very odd...what about the spare coil? and the upside-down steering wheel..?!
 
So many cars have the wheel upside down, 404s in particular.
 
I owned the 403 for a short while. Lovely and rare blue car but had been resprayed a hideous aqua colour. Repainted back to the proper colour by the Torquay owner. Went extremely well.
 
Also a Renault and two Peugeot signs being auctioned as well. They would look good in an appropriate garage.
 
i give in, what is it about the front bumper, lo203404 ?
Glovebox garnishes are upside down, too ( IMHO ).
