Simca 8CV 1200 Barquette sport Gordini replica Fully restored 1950
General description :
We have managed to buy in something really special for you. A Simca 8 1200 Barquette Gordini Replica. We can say nothing other than the fact this is a very nicely built lightweight racer. The car has been built around a steel Simca 8 frame with a handmade aluminium body. Since its build it has only travelled 1.054 km which shows to its advantage. Absolutely everything from top to bottom is in superb condition. The quality of the aluminium body panels is great and the shut lines are perfect. The newly well-applied red paintwork is pristine. Whilst the car’s interior is spartan, it is also undoubtably the case that the workmanship has been meticulously executed. The bucket seats are upholstered in brown leather, which contrasts nicely with the bare aluminium inside and the flame red exterior. The 1200 engine has been fitted with twin Webers that propel this Simca 8 a lot faster up the road than you might expect. The chassis and suspension parts are all pristine, which is reflected in the car’s superb handling. The drum brakes complete the driving experience and are more than adequate to bring this little racer to a quick halt. The manual transmission is precise and free of play. If you just happed to be in the market for a unique 50’s racer in top quality condition, this is the car for you. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About Simca
Simca, short for "Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile," was a French automaker with a rich history that spanned several decades. Here's a narrative history and ten milestone models produced by Simca:Narrative History of Simca:
Formation: Simca originated from the collaboration between Fiat and French automaker Henri Théodore Pigozzi in the late 1930s. Initially, Simca focused on producing Fiat-based cars in France.
Post-World War II Growth: After World War II, Simca expanded its production and started developing its own models, gradually distancing itself from the reliance on Fiat designs.
Expansion and Innovations: In the 1950s and 1960s, Simca experienced significant growth and introduced various models, consolidating its position in the European market.
Ten Milestone Models by Simca:
Simca 8 (1937-1951): This was one of Simca's earliest models, based on a Fiat design. It featured a small, reliable engine and was available in various body styles.
Simca Vedette (1954-1961): The Vedette marked Simca's entry into the luxury car segment. It had a stylish design and was powered by V8 engines.
Simca Aronde (1951-1964): The Aronde was a compact car that became a significant success for Simca. It underwent several updates and variations during its production span.
Simca 1000 (1961-1978): This compact car was one of Simca's best-selling models. It offered a rear-engine layout and was popular for its practicality and affordability.
Simca 1300/1500 (1963-1975): These models represented Simca's move into the mid-size car segment. They were well-equipped, offered good performance, and had a spacious interior.
Simca 1100 (1967-1982): This was one of Europe's first mass-produced hatchbacks. It gained popularity for its innovative design and practicality.
Simca 1204 (1968-1980): This model, similar to the 1100, was produced in the United States under the Chrysler brand as the Plymouth Cricket.
Simca-Talbot Horizon (1978-1986): After Simca was acquired by Chrysler Europe and then sold to Peugeot, the Horizon became part of the rebadged Talbot lineup. It was a successful compact car with modern features.
Simca-Chrysler 2-Litre (1970-1980): This was a mid-size sedan produced under the joint venture between Simca and Chrysler. It offered a comfortable ride and various engine options.
Simca 1307/1308/1309 (1975-1986): Known as the "Simca-Chrysler 1307/1308/1309" and later the "Talbot 1510," these were family cars with a modern design and innovative features.
Legacy:

However, by the mid-1980s, the Simca brand was phased out by its parent company Peugeot after struggling with financial challenges, marking the end of an era in French automobile history.
