Notes
Issued during 1964-66, this Simca model is a rare find (more usually found with a chrome finish). Attractive intense deep metallic blue finish with complete racing stripe and number. Vivid red detailed interior. Suspension on bright shaped spun wheels. Well-shaped original treaded tyres.
Very minor bumper rubs if you really want to find fault. Two small casting marks (as-made) – one on each side. Tiny fleck of factory silver on a rear wing.
The box is clean, crisp and bright, with plenty of end flap spring. Feels as if it has been opened rarely. Period pencilled price on one end flap. Small corner storage crumple.
