Iconic moped lives on in the hearts of Moroccans

In France it slipped into legend after delighting long-haired teenagers in the 1970s and 80s, but in Morocco the tireless moped trundles on despite an invasion of cheaper Chinese scooters.

The Peugeot 103 has been around for so long in the North African country that most Moroccans do not notice it.

But with its rounded handlebars, spluttering engine and signature exhaust cloud of blue smoke, the Peugeot 103 is to Morocco what the Renault 4L is to Madagascar: almost a national emblem.
