wasnt exactly what i was looking for but when was the last time you saw an old old simca
, let alone a time capsule (all be it, it was sprayed) 2 owner from new with 67000 KM genuine on the clock and a history of being locked away for long periods, at the price i got it for i just couldnt leave it in france, and the guy i got it from was coming to england anyway with a trailer so the deal was done and its now here in paddyland
i go to a lot of shows/CnC's troughout the year and apart from the imp style simca 1100 ive not seen any other simca here that i know of, so im going to assume (right or wrongly, , i am open to correction) that its a rare little beastie, even the simca club uk only has a couple on the books (i had to contact them to be sure that the car would run on modern unleaded and asked how many were in the club
) i had met with the club in the nec in november and was searching for a matra murena or rancho or reno 4cv/hp (i know, I KNOW !!! im a very sad man
) on laboncoin.fr when i knocked across this car, and it caught my eye, and that was that
