Peugeot 404 Coupé and Cabriolet registry

Berichtdoor Mike Tippett » 29 jan 2009, 07:40

Hello aan alle Nederlandse en Vlaamse 404-fans

Please excuse my English, I hope you will forgive me but my Dutch language ability is nearly zero.

I am trying to get together a list of surviving 404 C cars (identified by serial number and/or body number) and so far I have got 55 of these on my list. I notice that a number of the members here have 404 Coupé or Cabriolet cars and so I would like to also ask for your help.

I am seeking the following data about any 404 C cars that still exist today or were owned at one time by anyone:
  • serial number
  • carrosserie Peugeot number
  • body colour
  • upholstery material/colour
  • general location
  • condition of the vehicle


I am already working with Michel VERDIER of the Club 404 in France on this project, and my goal is to improve the database that the Club 404 already has for 404 C cars.

I do not want or need any personal information from or about the owners, not even the number plate information. Even the serial number and basic car colour would be great to have! You may post the information here, or send me a private message, or send me an email, whichever is easiest for you.

In the course of my inventory, I came across information about a 404 that was apparently exported from South Africa to the Netherlands in 1996. Perhaps someone here knows of it? It is a white 1966 404 Coupé with carburetor, serial number 4498223.

Best regards and thank you in advance for any assistance.

Perhaps this is the car from South Africa, found on the excellent Dutch 404 CC site:

I have another 1500+ 404 CC serial numbers that I've just received this evening from the Club 404 in France, well that does make the list grow a little bit! WOW!

Assistance in adding to the list would still be appreciated, of course!

I have no clue what the serial- and bodynumber of my coupé is, but I will try to find out a.s.a.p..

What exactly is your goal? To make a list of the survivors so far? :-)
I think 95% of the Dutch (and some Belgian) registered cars which are listed on www.404cc.nl are still alive.

Yes, the goal is to get as many cars as possible into the database. I will be adding new ones to the Club 404's database also; perhaps we can eventually achieve 2000 404 C cars in the registry?

For me it is just interesting to see how many of these cars are left, and where in the world they are located.

Thanks for your assistance!

There were some multiple entries among the 1500 new-to-me 404 C serial numbers, so the actual number is about 1300. So I am close to 1400 in total.

Final update on the 404 C list: 1245 individual cars have been listed by their serial numbers. I know more are out there! We will be working on a Web-based 404 C serial number tool soon. It will list cars, not owners, locations or any private information.

Well, it's sure that there are more than 14 in NL. :wink:

But I am still thinking how you can grab all the serial numbers together.
Here in NL a license plate stays with the car so that's why we normally use the plate as identification instead of the serial number.

The census continues, we are still getting a few new 404 C cars identified from all over the world each day.

Special thanks to those on this forum who are about to, or have already helped me, by adding their car(s) to the list!



And now for some trivia about me: I actually lived in the Netherlands for 3 years when I was a kid, but I went to a Canadian school in Brunssum which didn't give me a good chance to learn Dutch. Poor excuse, I know....but the Dutch kids I knew in our Schaesberg neighbourhood were learning English in school and so practised it with me all the time. that is my excuse. I do know French, a bit of German and Spanish, though!

While we lived in NL, my father owned a 1966 bronze metallic 404 SL Injection sedan, Canadian model (red rear turn signals, MPH speedometer, selaed beam headlights, seat belts). The license plate was AFC 84288.

That car was assembled from a CKD kit in 1966 at St-Bruno-de-Montarville in Québec. In 1972, just before we moved back to Canada, the car was sold to another Candian military officer, but it was getting rusty. I have wondered if that car - by some miracle - survives to this day in the Netherlands.

Until now I still haven't been to my garage, but I can tell you the "meldcode" (= last four digits of the serial number) of my Gris Grapite '67 coupé with carburator: 0211
Pictures can be found all over this forum. :wink:

If that's from the "467" series, my records call it a very early 1968 model, but that could be wrong of course! I don't think it would be from the 449 series, not with such a low meldcode.

My car has all the specifics of the '68 model (for instance the new steering wheel) and was imported from France a few years ago.
Maybe there went something wrong with the translation of the French registration to the Dutch one? :wink:

On my papers 1967 is mentioned as the first year it was used.
And this is also what the "RDW" data says for AE-02-28:
- Date of first registration: 15-09-1967
- Date or most recent owner registration: 27-10-2006
- Date of first registration in NL: 29-03-1999

OK, it seems the car was purchased in September 1967 but it was definitely a 1968 model. Interesting! It does make sense, considering your observations about the steering wheel.

Of the total production of the 404 C for each model year, here are the percentages of each year's production that is on our list, so far:

1962 model: 4,92 %
1963 model: 4,33 %
1964 model: 4,15 %
1965 model: 4,71 %
1966 model: 7,46 %
1967 model: 10,25 %
1968 model: 12,63 %
1969 model: 13,85 %

Overall production: 1290/17223 = 7,49 %

The yearly percentages are probably a bit low because I don't have a totally accurate production figure for each model year, just an approximate one. Therefore I had to estimate total production based upon figures from GAZOLINE's 404 issue, but their figures would tell us that 17737 404 Cs were built, which we know is about 3% too high.

The total for Germany is down to 64 cars, as one record was a duplication. No duplications exist elsewhere. So now, NL is not that far behind D!

Any more assistance in getting the Dutch 404 CC cars into this database would be very much appreciated! And Flemish Belgium too!

The exact number of manufactured cars is 17225, Mike.

I have a list with production count per month and acummulated production count per month, based on body numbers, not chassis numbers. I'll pass it to you.

I have heard about the 17225 being the official total, but apparently the Carrosserie number of the last car was 17223! Maybe the diesel record car(s) didn't have a body number?

Still I would definitely appreciate you forwarding your list to me!

jaren geleden (96) heb ik in het voormalige Ho chi Min -Saigon (Vietnam) een groen metalic 404 cabriolet gespot. Enkele jaren later reed hij er nog steeds rond.
Daarnaast reden er toen meerdere 404's rond in Vietnam (en een 203 cabriolet).

I bought 4 new 404 C headlight rings from a fellow in Vietnam - original, still in their wrappings, perfect condition, $50 for a pair. That was on eBay a few years ago. So there must have been more than a few 404 Cs in Vietnam in the old days!

Another update: we added a 404 Cab from Paraguay to the llist this evening, so we have hit the mark of one thousand three hundred cars in the database!
