    My Grandfather drove a Simca, ---







    didn't look like that.

    Granny said, if I can't find anything nice to say about.....
    Maybe, I shouldn't say anything. So those are my thoughts on that car.

    Shorty.

    That's really progressive for a french car. It has 4 wheel nuts.

    Never seen one of them, but the timing would suggest that the styling may well have influenced the Discovery styling, even if unconsciously.

    My father used to have a Simca Vedette (quite good), and my brother had an Aronde (didn't stand up to Queensland roads in the sixties - wiped bits off underneath and cracked the body shell) before he bought his Series 2 after borrowing my Series 1.
