Peugeot 404 U 10 pickup 1,6 — 1974

• Mechanical condition

  The engine starts easily with a new battery, and the gears shift smoothly via the column shifter once you get accustomed to their positions.
  
  The brakes are slightly engaged and require an inspection—naturally, the car is in general need of a thorough check-up and service after having been parked in a garage for over 10 years. The rust protection on the chassis and underbody appears to have been applied consciously and maintained regularly.

• Interior condition

  The instrument panel, controls, and buttons are intact and functional. The headliner is in good condition, while the door panels show some wear, and the door handle on the right side is missing.
  
  The seat covers are intact, but we have not removed them since the padding crumbles when disturbed. To avoid a major cleanup during documentation, we chose not to inspect the original upholstery underneath, so its condition remains unknown.
  
  The speedometer makes a loud noise and displays incorrect values—this is most likely due to a faulty cable, though it could also be an issue with the gears in the transmission or within the gauge itself.

• Exterior condition

  The original color appears to be white, and the owner has done extensive touch-ups and sealing work. In addition to paint, various materials have been used to seal areas such as the windshield wiper shafts, fuel cap, body gaps, engine bay, and more.
  
  The canvas cover is largely intact, but several rubber straps are dry-rotted and/or broken. Interestingly, the car is still fitted with older Michelin X tires—the same type it was likely delivered with in 1974.

• General condition

  An exciting and fun passenger pickup with various needs and possibilities. The mechanical work required is essential for passing inspection, while the cosmetic improvements will depend on the new owner's definition of "representative" and "presentable." However, one thing is certain—the car has strong enthusiast potential, no matter what.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
