In 1939, Vensio Pagani's father packed his family up and fled war-torn
Italy for France, leaving everything behind in the process. The family
home, friends and even his father's prize Peugeot convertible were all abandoned in the hope that the Paganis could find a safer future for themselves. Vensio cultivated a passion for restoring period vehicles over the
intervening 70 years, and happened to spot a vintage Peugeot just like
his father's at a swap meet. The car was in pieces and badly in need of
restoration, but Vensio drug it back to his shop and began rebuilding
the car from the ground up. It wasn't until he cleaned off the frame that he noticed something
special. After scratching back the rust, grime and paint of seven
decades, Vensio discovered that the serial number of the car he
purchased matched his father's – amazingly, he had found his dad's
long-lost Peugeot. You can take a look at it below. (autoblog,
