Notes
This is a very fine example of the Simca model finished in lustrous, distinctive mid-blue with a creamy-white roof, plated convex wheels. Type 2 issue from 1956-57.
Shiny base and well-shaped original tyres.
The crisp card box has such vivid colours. Crisp too. Presents well, but note the little puncture/slit to the top surface (caused during storage), and a small glue repair at an end flap. Little seam tear. Period price at an end flap.
