Peugeot is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year, two centuries after brothers Jean-Pierre and Jean-Frédéric converted their father's corn mill to produce everything from tricycles to pepper mills.
Since then Peugeot has been associated with saws, tools, salt and pepper mills, coffee grinders, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, cars and vans.
From its first bicycles and motorcycles in 1886 and the motor car five years after that, the French car maker's contribution now includes the first petrol-powered four-wheeler and the first mass-produced diesel-powered saloon.
