Once we said that France is the place where to buy a Simca: facts prove that we are right. This is a white Simca 1200S (quite rare in this shade) which, although it’s not in outstanding condition, is for sure a very nice driver. It has been resprayed for sure but the overall conditions are good:… Read More White declension: 1967 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
Actually, this car needs much more than some cans of fresh paint: seats are missing too. However, with a lot of patience it could be a nice challenge. The seller says that the car is basically solid, at least the body and the floors are, but there is rust on the door sills (as usual). The… Read More Some paint needed: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
We don’t have a trustworthy source to confirm that, but the seller says that only 280 of these cars were made and, as we suppose that the seller has done his homework, we don’t have any reason to doubt about that. With this car Michelotti gave a further proof of his genius. This little spider was… Read More That aggressive face: 1964 OSI 1200 Spider
France is definitely the place where to buy a Simca. This 1200S is painted in a very pleasant pale blue, very similar to the “Celeste Chiaro” used on its peer, the Maserati Ghibli (designed by Giugiaro as well), mated to a classic black interior, a typical color combo of late sixties. The seller says that… Read More Pale blue bargain: 1967 Simca 1200S by Bertone
It’s the first time we see such color on a late ’50’s Fiat: it seems a british Primerose Yellow used on period Triumph TR3 or MG A. However, we have no reasons to doubt that it’s the original color as italians spend much care about the correctness of restorations. Indeed this car seems to have… Read More Primerose chic: 1958 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
France, both for the seller and for the car: differently from the 1200S featured here, this car is not white nor blue, the official color for french racing cars. Indeed this car shows a beautiful Rosso Corsa which mates perfectly with the black front grilles and the black vinyl interiors. This is a model year 1969… Read More French Giugiaro/2: 1969 Simca Bertone 1200 S
This Simca 1200S Bertone is the mightier version of the 1000 model. As the name suggests (although the seller calls it 1300 GLS), it’s powered by a 1204 c.c. rear engine fed by a couple of two-throat Solex carburetors. The 1968 edition develops 80 h.p. This nice little coupè was designed by Giorgietto Giugiaro when… Read More French Giugiaro: 1968 Simca Bertone 1200 S
