For the 1894 Paris–Rouen race, I know Rio made a model of the steam powered De Dion, but I can’t find anyone who produced a 1/43 replica of Lemaître’s Peugeot. So two questions… does anyone know of a model of the Peugeot? And secondly, if not, is the 1892 Minialuxe Peugeot Victoria the correctly base for it? I think I can modify the Minialuxe enough to get close to correct. Or is there a better car to start with than the Victoria? Thanks!

I can't think of any better base than Minialuxe for that. Although their models might be quite fragile and prone to bending.
