Peugeot. 1905

Peugeot. 1905


The type VA is the first automobile launched by Eugène Peugeot, whose business “Les Fils de Peugeot Frères” had up until that point only made tools and two-wheeled vehicles, motorised and non-motorised. Eugène was the cousin of Armand, whose firm “Automobiles Peugeot” had been making mid and top of the range cars. First shown at the Paris Motorshow in 1905, the type VA was a popular model available in two body types, voiturette and four-seat tonneau. It was powered by a small 785 cc single-cylinder engine with a chain drive. One thousand Lion VAs were built in the Beaulieu factory from 1906 to 1908.
