The Peugeot 404 is one of those classic cars that built its reputation the hard way: by being dependable, comfortable and remarkably capable across rough roads. Produced from 1960, the 404 combined elegant Pininfarina styling with robust French engineering, giving it a distinctive square shouldered look that still feels timeless today. Available as a sedan, wagon, ute, coupe and cabriolet, it appealed to families, tradespeople and enthusiasts alike. Its supple suspension, strong chassis and efficient four cylinder engines made it especially popular in countries where road conditions demanded more than just good looks.

In Australia and around the world, the 404 earned admiration for durability, with many examples covering huge distances in daily service. It also made its mark in motorsport, famously winning the East African Safari Rally multiple times during the 1960s, proving that comfort and toughness could live in the same car. The 404 became a common sight across Africa, Europe and beyond, sometimes serving as a taxi for decades. Today, owners value it for its mechanical simplicity, refined ride and charming character.
