-This
page is dedicated to the Simca 1200, 5-door family sedan (hatchtback or
runabout) , 5- seater and 5-wheeled counting the spare one...This classic
car appeared at the end of the sixties and was one of the firsts front-wheel
drive front-transverse engined 5-door family sedans. It was made in France,
Spain and other european countries, even it was exported to the U.S.A.;
it received different names in its different selling countries: Simca 1200
in Spain, Simca 1204 in the USA and Simca 1100 in the rest of the world.
It was a best-seller with plus than two-milions units sold, thanks majorly
to its general conception, good-for-its-time performances and its extraordinary
robustness, being sold until the eighties and being the basis for building
other success models (with its same engines and platform) : Simca-Talbot-Matra
Rancho, Sunbeam Alpine / Simca 1308 / Chrysler 150 / Talbot 150,
Talbot Solara, Talbot Horizon, Chrysler Omni / Plymouth Horizon ...
The Simca 1200 ended its commercial life being sold under the brand Talbot
instead Simca in the difficult last years of that brand's life.
Due
to room and time lacks, this page cannot be as complete and full of stuff
as I liked, and I'm sure it has lots of errors (here I must apologize for
my cute english) that I hope could be corrected with your help, my visitors...
In every moment I tried to respect everyone´s intelectual property,
but if anybody think I didn't (sure unvoluntarily), I threat him to contact
with me inmediately to solve any possible problem of that kind. I will
thanks any type of cooperation, stuff submit or suggestion by you, don't
doubt to contact with me to discuss about this page or about classic cars
and motorbikes:
