Welcome to this brand new episode of Henco's Garage. Today, we're featuring a beautiful, all original Simca 1000. A true legend from the 60's. Enjoy, like and subscribe for more!
This is just gorgeous. It reeks (in a good way) of France in the '60s and '70s. Simca never completed squarely with Renault, Citroën or Peugeot. And its export market was tiny... But this little jewel could be seen in most towns. It resembles the R8 but is a visibly smaller car. Like Simca itself, it has deeply Italian/Fiat origins. This example is just gorgeous.
Mein erstes Auto 1980. Perfekt restauriert. So schön war mein Exemplar aber nicht. Aber es lief und beförderte mich zuverlässig von meinem Zuhause zur Kaserne und zurück. Es lebe Simca.
My Uncle was the 2nd person in Louisville Kentucky to work on Foreign cars.. Don Corletts was the first but my Uncle Henry he was the second he had a Shop off Frankfort Ave.. He always drove Simca, Fiats, Renault's and Some Datson's old Triumphs and tiny Subaru's and old little bitty Honda civics but he Always would be in a Simca always think of him when I see one...Which isn't very often
Ich habe 1967 den Simca 1000 gekauft, wenn ich denke wie oft der auf der Transitstrecke verreckt ist. Besonders im Winter machte er viel Ärger. Na ja, eben die gute alte Zeit.
It seems like voitures Françaises could never quite cut it in the USA. They were come and go. There was Simca, Renault, 2CV, Peuguot, Citroen. All of them long gone.
My first car was my mom's handed down Peugeot 505.Hands down the best car I ever had.Being a stupid teenager,I smoked a BMW once.I named it Pepe Le Pew,after the cartoon skunk,as it was French built,and diesel back then reeked.I had a head on with a drunk driver in a K car,who swerved into my oncoming lane.That butthole had to be towed,I drove off with just a slightly damaged bumper.My dad's colleague had a Citroen DS Pallas.It was as if it was from another dimension-amazing.
Mio padre l'ha tenuta fino al 1969. Aveva sempre nel bagagliaio una cinghia trapezoidale di ricambio, un manicotto del radiatore ed una bottiglia di acqua per il radiatore. Le cose che si rompevano solitamente. Bei tempi, esistevano anche macchine economiche. 😄
Mio padre ne acquistò una nel 64. Un vero disastro, ogni giorno ne aveva una. Avrebbe fatto meglio comprare una Fiat 1100 D oppure ina Renault R8. Decisamente più affidabili.

Magnifique automobile. Toute ma belle jeunesse !💕

Good-looking old small car.

Great videos. I prefer the ones in which you give some commentary about the cars, as you did on your previous channel.
Vozio sam ga kao klinac, imao sam nekih 12-13 godinea.,, letio je bokom bolje nego BMW, svakako zanimljiv autić!😅
How much understeer you want ?
YES.
This is the only car that I ever lost traction in both front tires in a corner!😂
... سيارات الزمن الجميل...! يوم كانت للسيارة قيمة... آاااااه ...! هذه السيارة أفضل من 06 مما هو موجود اليوم...

I had to change the clutch slave cylinder on one of these back in the 1970s.
Ghastly experience. Almost unreachable and completely invisible.

Frans autootje in een Nederlandse omgeving.

Il progetto era praticamente FIAT.strana sta cosa dell' affidabilità
