\u20ac193,104.\u00a0<\/b>The Peugeot 402 \u00c9clipse on offer was delivered to its first owner in 1936. According to the registration documents, it appears that he kept the car until 1968. Between 1968 and 1971, the car was registered in Finist\u00e8re with the number 512 PZ 29.<\/p>\n<p>On 26 July 1971, it passed into the hands of a Mr Bernard Bouet, from Nan\u00e7ay, in Sologne. He retained the car until the date of its most recent registration, 21 December 2006, when the previous owner, a German Citro\u00ebn dealer, acquired it through the intermediary of a dealer. The car was then in &#8216;barn find&#8217; condition, original and complete, but in poor condition. The owner threw himself into restoring this rare find, using the considerable resources of his own workshops.<\/p>\n<p>The car was taken to bits and the bodywork was rebuilt and re-sprayed. The interior and the engine were also brought back to life, and today this car is presented in a beautifully restored condition.

In his hands, the car enjoyed a second youth, and was restored on a sound base. He then sold the car to the present owner, and so it has had just three owners since 1957. The exterior presentation, with two-tone green paintwork, is elegant, and the magnificent upholstery displays a lovely patina, that could be the original leather. The painted metallic dashboard is in superb condition and there are matching carpets. The \u00c9clipse is a unique car : a rare model with an originality that was distinctive when it was produced, and remains so today. <b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/3210\/1.html\">R\u00e9tromobile 2015 by Artcurial Motorcars<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1936-peugeot-402-eclipse\/1059030-1536-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-205014\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-205014\" src=\"http:\/\/supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/1059030-1536.jpg\" alt=\"1059030-1536\" width=\"\" height=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/Pics?viewCarPic=y&amp;source=carGal&amp;carID=5995&amp;pgID=1&amp;pID=1059030\">1936 Peugeot 402 \u00c9clipse Coupe-Cabriolet 616372<\/a>.\u00a0<\/b>The Peugeot 402 \u00c9clipse on offer was delivered to its first owner in 1936. According to the registration documents, it appears that he kept the car until 1968. Between 1968 and 1971, the car was registered in Finist\u00e8re with the number 512 PZ 29. On 26 July 1971, it passed into the hands of a Mr Bernard Bouet, from Nan\u00e7ay, in Sologne. He retained the car until the date of its most recent registration, 21 December 2006, when the current owner acquired it through the intermediary of a specialist dealer. The car was then in &#8216;barn find&#8217; condition, original and complete, but in poor condition. The owner threw himself into restoring this rare find, using the considerable resources of his own workshops. The car was taken to bits and the bodywork was rebuilt and re-sprayed.<\/p>\n<p>The interior and the engine were also brought back to life, and today this car is presented in a beautifully restored condition.

This is undoubtedly one of the most stunning Peugeot 402 \u00c9clipses in circulation. It is ready to take to the road, win concours events and wow the crowds with its retractable hardtop that was so ahead of its time. With such a limited number of these models built (thought to be 29 surviving examples), the presence of this \u00c9clipse in our sale provides a unique opportunity.\u00a0<b>Auction Source: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/gallery\/119513\/2941\/1.html\">Artcurial Motorcars \u00e0 2013 R\u00e9tromobile <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1936 Peugeot 402 \u00c9clipse To compete with the 1934 Citro\u00ebn Traction Avant, Pegueot prepared an more radical design for the 402 called the \u00c9clipse.
