Peugeot : 104
Model Introduction
The Peugeot 104, launched in 1972, was one of the world’s smallest four-door cars at the time, designed by Gérard Welter with understated, elegant styling by Pininfarina. Initially offered as a short-tailed saloon, it later gained the three-door hatchback coupé variant, which shared its chassis with the Citroën LN and Talbot Samba. Powered by the all-aluminium “Suitcase” engine developed with Renault, the 104 was praised for its comfort, nimble handling, and space efficiency, and it remained in production for an impressive 16 years, becoming a familiar sight on European roads.
