 How Old is the Peugeot name? - Perky Penguin
Wiki tells me that Peugeot has been existence since 1830 but an advert in one of today's papers asks to help them celebrate their 200th Anniversay. Can anyone shed light on the early history of the company? It obviously hasn't been cars for all the 200 years!!!

The “Peugeot Frères” company was officially founded in 1810 when the Peugeot family bought a cereal mill at Sous Cratet and set about capitalising on the Industrial Revolution by converting it into a steel factory.

Oh she knows what she wants alright. She wants a new Range Rover. She just can't have one.

PS - I had a Peugeot racing bike once. Think they've been making bikes for a very long time.

Actually there has been an animated Peugeot ad on this website. Runs through a hand-operated coffee grinder through a bicycle to a modern Peugeot car, cutting out all the good ones. That's about the size of it isn't it, the Peugeot story?
