Notes
A harder find in mid-grey, this Simca 9 Aronde model has matching ridged wheels and the distinctive 1st type radiator grille, smooth inside the roof (i.e. no cross-hatching). Bright baseplate (some ‘spidering’). Original white tyres are well-shaped.
Presents well with its sleek grey finish.
Chip on the bonnet and a couple of small marks besides.
The picture box is clean and complete. Little creasing/handling wear and tear (minor).
