1951 | SIMCA 8 Sport Gordini

Simca 8 1200 Barquette Gordini Replica. This is a very nicely built lightweight racer, built around a steel Simca 8 frame and fitted with a handcrafted aluminium body. Absolutely everything from top to bottom is in superb condition. The quality of the aluminium body panels is great and the shut lines are perfect. The newly well-applied red paintwork is pristine. Whilst the car’s interior is spartan, it is also undoubtably the case that the craftsmanship has been meticulously executed. The bucket seats are upholstered in brown leather, which contrasts nicely with the bare aluminium inside and the flame red exterior. The 1200 engine has been fitted with twin Webers and propel this Simca 8 a lot faster up the road than you might expect. The chassis and suspension parts are all pristine, which is reflected in the car’s superb handling. The drum brakes complete the driving experience and are more than adequate to bring this little racer to a quick halt. The manual transmission is precise and free of play. A unique opportunity to obtain a 50’s racer in top condition!
