Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

An older restoration with long museum display history. Appears sound but probably in need of comprehensive attention before venturing out onto the streets.

Market commentary

Compared with the $232,000 Bonhams got for an 1895 Peugeot a month later this de Dion is a sound value. The new owner will, however, be writing a fair number of checks before its in good enough shape to drive.
