Oh, wow.

Not as exotic as one should think, really.

Thank you for posting this one!

I doubt it left the Peugeot factory with Raceabout bodywork.
I no longer have access to the book of Peugeot type numbers but I expect a 136 was normally a large saloon (or just possibly a torpedo tourer) and (as in the case of a 1904 one I once researched) the "A" suffix just denotes an alternative axle ratio.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

In "Toutes les Peugeot" by René Bellu (Editions Jean-Pierre Delville, Paris, 1980) they made 235 Type 136 Sport 16CV during 1911-1913. Though the cars pictured in this book are torpédos with two or four seats, the cars were sold as chassis, so I guess any body would have been possible. Bellu only calls teh 1913 version 136A, and indeed he refers to minor technical differences in engine and transmission ratio, even though the top speed is stated as 92 km/h for all three years.
