SIMCA 8 SPORTS 1950 Little is known about this car in Australia. We believe it has the Simca 8 mechanics with a beautiful body design by Pininfarina and executed by Facel-Metallon. A car similar to this was among the ten cars exhibited as works of art at the Museum of Modern Arts in 1951. |

SIMCA 8 SPORTS Again a classic example of the beauty that came from the Simca stables. We believe this car was produced in 1948. It is nice to be able to compare the convertible with the hard top pictured above. |

SIMCA 1200S 1967-71 (prod:14,741) A 2+2 seater coupe by Bertone with a 1204cc engine. This four-wheel servo disc braked coupe was good for over 100mph. If standard was not fast enough Radbourne Racing marketed an Abarthised edition. There were no factory produced right hand drive units. |
MATRA SIMCA "Bagheera" 1973-1980. The "Yellow Panther" so nicknamed after Rudyard Kipling's animal character, Bagheera being a panther and yellow being the most popular colour. Driven by the 1290cc engine this glass fibre body on a metal platform was good for 115mph. The most unique feature of the car was the three abreast seating, 1+2 configuration. The later "Bagheera S" had the 1442cc motor and better performance.
