  Old Van Ban Starts to Hit Londoners Hard 1 Jan 2012 (News)

  Techno Classica 2015: Peugeot shows off 402 Eclipse 16 Apr 2015 (News)
  This example of the 402, which was launched in 1935 to compete with the Citroen Traction Avant, boasted a coachbuilt body that transformed it from a saloon into a coupe-cabriolet.
