The Simca 6 was launched in 1947 as the successor to the Simca 5. Unlike its predecessor (which was actually a derivative of the Fiat Topolino), the Simca 6 was a true development of the French brand Simca. The car was introduced at the 1947 Paris Motor Show and bore more resemblance to the recently introduced Peugeot 203 and Renault 4CV than to the Fiat Topolino. The raised bonnet and wider grille gave the car a somewhat American look at the front, making this very compact and exceptionally attractive classic car even more appealing.
This car was originally delivered in France in 1949 and arrived in the Netherlands in 2009. After a thorough and extensive body-off restoration (photos available), the car was registered in the Netherlands in 2014. During this restoration, the car was painted in the beautiful Fiat Grigio Quarzo. This body colour is not only stunning to look at but also combines perfectly with the red/grey interior. The retractable canvas roof is in perfect condition and also in a matching red color. After the restoration, the car has been maintained with great love and care and remains in excellent condition. The body panels fit together well, and the doors close securely and well. The chrome and trim are in very good and shiny condition, and the rubber parts and trim are also in excellent condition. The white rims with chrome hubcaps are in excellent condition and make a stunning combination with this car. This also applies to the chrome luggage rack with a matching wicker basket.
The interior is in perfect and almost new condition. The red/gray upholstery is in excellent condition and is truly stunning. The upholstery is a combination of cloth (gray) and imitation leather (red), giving the car a stylish character. The seats are not only in perfect condition but also surprisingly comfortable. The dashboard is also in exceptionally good condition. The various chrome and trim parts are in very good condition. A small storage compartment is accessible from the rear seat. Under the hood, we see a very neat and tidy engine compartment. It's clear that this car has received a great deal of love and care. We've rarely seen such a neat engine compartment. The 570cc four-cylinder engine runs exceptionally well and smoothly. Thanks to its low weight, the 16 hp is sufficient for a smooth and comfortable drive. The brakes feel good and firm, and the steering is exceptionally smooth. Shifting is also very easy and precise. All of this makes this compact classic Simca a wonderful driver's car.
