François Allain tackles a rare and desirable vehicle with a soberly tailored dress. For more than 69 episodes, it transported the famous lieutenant with the cigar and the raincoat from the television series Columbo. This lioness with the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie is the Peugeot 403 Cabriolet. The mission entrusted to him by the owner is clear: to return his car to competition condition and he has 1 year to achieve this. This legendary car will prove stubborn, even capricious with our restoration experts: sheet metal problem, correction of bodywork volumes, complete restoration of the engine, complete upholstery. Will François and his pool of experts succeed in restoring and delivering this jewel of an automobile in competition condition within the allotted time? To take a breather, our expert will visit a collector's car enthusiast: Thierry Ardisson.
