Brian Jubb has done a beautiful restoration of a 1923 Peugeot Van.
In our conversation he revealed among other things:
- The block and the head in the engine are one solid lump of iron, not separate castings.
- An engine that does not have an exhaust manifold, petrol pump, oil pump and the petrol is drip feed into the motor.
- Maximum Speed 60-65 km/hr
- First gear is very low but is needed to be especially if the engine is cold
- Pushing the gear lever up gets first gear – pushing it further gets reverse!
- Why little vans were a critical part of post-WWI development.
