Shown in 1963 and still in production, with the engine still behind the rear wheels. It was to be called the 901 until Peugeot objected to the number. The flat-six was air-cooled until 1998 and water-cooled from the 996 on. The shape has been refined rather than replaced for sixty years.
Concentrated in Auckland and Queenstown; rare elsewhere.
