1965 Peugeot 204 Berline Brochure
Under the bonnet sat a transversely mounted 1.130-litre four-cylinder engine producing 48 horsepower, a modest but proven configuration that gave the 204 Berline genuine appeal against the Mini and early Fiat 127 in 1965. The engine's efficiency mattered more than raw pace; buyers wanted reliable transport that wouldn't drain the fuel tank. Peugeot's engineering choice reflecte
1967 Peugeot 204 Berline & Break Brochure
Launched into a market dominated by the Fiat 850 and Renault 8, the 1967 Peugeot 204 offered buyers something different: a transverse 1.1-litre engine with 50 horsepower, space-conscious front-wheel drive, and a notably upright driving position. The saloon and estate shared the same platform, giving families genuine choice. British and German competitors suddenly had to reckon
1969 Peugeot 204 Berline & Break Brochure
By 1969, Peugeot's 204 line offered buyers a choice between the compact saloon and the Break estate—two distinct body styles that shared the same mechanical foundation. The 1.1-litre engine producing 54 horsepower was modest by any measure, yet the catalogue presented both variants as practical family transport. Buyers could specify trim levels and upholstery options that refle
1972 Peugeot 204 Berline & Break Brochure
By 1972, the 204's transverse 1.1-litre engine—good for 54 horsepower in its upper tune—faced pressure from the Golf and 127, yet Peugeot's engineering prioritized reliability over outright performance. Both saloon and estate bodies shared the same mechanical foundation, a platform strategy that appealed to buyers seeking practical French engineering without the Citroën's uncon
1969 Peugeot 204 Cabrio & Coupe Brochure
The 204 Cabrio and Coupé arrived in Dutch showrooms as compact alternatives to bulkier British roadsters. With the 1.1-litre engine producing 65 horsepower, these body variants offered affordability without sacrificing the open-air appeal that buyers craved. The transverse front-drive layout meant nimble handling—a selling point against the heavier competition of 1969.
1970 Peugeot 204 Cabrio & Coupe Brochure
In 1970, the Peugeot 204 Coupé and Cabriolet arrived to challenge the Simca 1100 Coupé and Renault 15's emerging dominance in the affordable leisure segment. Both variants carried the same 1.1-litre, 52 bhp four-cylinder and shared Pininfarina's hand, yet the open-air roadster offered something rivals couldn't easily match: genuine sunshine motoring without premium pricing.

1972 Peugeot 204 Fourgonnette Brochure
By 1972, the 204 Fourgonnette had carved out its own territory in the European light commercial segment, competing against the Renault 4 and Citroën's van offerings rather than passenger cars. The 1.1-litre engine producing 54 horsepower was adequate for urban deliveries and tradesmen's routes where fuel economy mattered more than speed. French buyers recognised it as the sensi
