1973 SIMCA 1000 RALLYE 2 - Lot 51

1973 SIMCA 1000 RALLYE 2 Serial number: S1JC16P/54415 French registration 1 000/ 1 500 Beautiful restoration project Since its launch in October 1961, the Simca 1000 has gone from being a modest car to a sports car capable of taking on the Porsche 911s in hill climbs, well after its long production run. The Simca 1000 arrived just in time to consolidate the Poissy-based brand's position as France's second-largest carmaker. The car is sold without its engine. After two very successful early rally versions, Simca launched the Rallye 2 in 1972, retaining the clean lines of the first versions but gaining real power with a 1300 cm3, 82 hp engine, all for less than 800 kg. A second Simca is included with its French registration. Our example is a fine restoration project and appears complete. Once restored, this little bombshell will be ready to take on the most beautiful roads in France. 1973 SIMCA 1000 RALLYE 2 Serial number: S1JC16P/54415 French registration 1 000/ 1 500 Beautiful restoration project Since its launch in October 1961, the Simca 1000 has gone from being a modest car to a sports car capable of taking on the Porsche 911s in hill climbs, well after its long production run.
