The 402 series was first introduced in 1936. This rare example has a special sports body by famed French coachbuilder Marcle Pourtout who was a hero with the French resistance. This 402 Racing Roadster has a 4-cylinder, single-overhead valve engine with two-liter capacity. It is one of three cars with an aluminum body in the 1938 24-Hour Lemans race and won its class.
This George Paulin design is Peugeot's all time most elegant two-seat roadster. Powered by a 1,991 cc overhead cam inline four-cylinder engine which produces 73-horsepower.

A total of 104 Peugeot 402 Darl'mat Special Sport Roadsters were crafted from 402 chassis. They were upgraded at Darl'mat's shop with Cotal four-speed electro-mechanical gearboxes, before being shipped to pourtout and fitted with the Paulin-designed bodies, formed from pieces of sheet aluminum hand-shaped and then nailed to wooden structures of ash framing that were then attached to the chassis.

Three Darl'mats finished in the top 10 overall at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1937. Approximately 30 still survive today.
