SPARK S2617 Peugeot 204 n°7 Lionnet Safari 1967 %

Spark — S2617 | Peugeot 204 No. 7 (East African Safari Rally 1967 — Class Winner)

Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Peugeot 204 featured a modern front-wheel-drive layout, an all-aluminum transverse 1,130 cc engine, and fully independent suspension. Renowned for its legendary endurance, structural rigidity, and predictable handling, the French saloon proved well-suited to the brutal pounding of African rally terrain.

Carrying start number #7, this Peugeot 204 was driven by Tanzanian competitor Hugh Lionnet, navigated by co-driver Ian Philip. Surviving axle-deep mud, blinding dust, and relentless rocky tracks across the punishing East African landscape, the duo delivered an exceptionally steady performance to cross the finish line in 8th place overall, claiming a celebrated class victory (Class A / up to 1,300 cc).
