La Simca 1000 de mon père

"It's easier in a Simca 1000", proclaimed Simca advertising in the early 1960s. From 1962 to 1978, throughout the 1000's career, a large French and European clientele was indeed convinced of this.

Simca 1000 Rallye

The Simca 1000 Rallye is one of the most popular French cars in history. The longevity of this parallelepiped on four thirteen-inch wheels, some examples of which are still running forty-five years after leaving the Poissy factories, is unprecedented and unmatched.

Pages of the book Simca 1000 Rallye (1)

Anchored in the hearts of several generations of drivers, this car has had multiple variations, assembled in large series or built in a few copies at the initiative of licensed preparers. The 1000 Rallye is also the pivot of the Simca Racing Team (SRT), the most important car team in Europe for an entire decade.
