Description

Peugeot poster 1947 202 Dal'Mart 3 World Record Braker & Two-Door Cabriolet Cars
In 1947, with a team of drivers working in relays (De Cortanze, Dujol Eugene Martin, and Marcel & Maurice Goux.
this car appeared at Montlhéry and broke three speed records for the under 1100 cc class while using fuel at the rate of approximately 10.l/100 km (23.3 mpg.). The car managed 1,000 miles (1,609 km) at an average speed of 144.5 km/h (89.8 mph), 2,000 Miles (3,218 km)
at an average speed of 145.0 km/h (90.1 mph) and achieving an average of 144.5 km/h (89.8 mph) over 12 hours.
A few weeks later in October, this Darl'Mat 202 was exhibited in public at the Paris Motor Show.[2] Despite drawing in the crowds at the motor show, it is not clear to what extent this design was developed into a car for general sale.
Better remembered are Darl'Mat's subsequent two-door cabriolet cars, these based on the Peugeot 203; sources indicate that by early 1953 more than 150 of these Peugeot 203 Darl'mat conversions were registered.
