Car articles about Simca 1300 by year
With the 1300 and 1500, Simca finally entered the mid-range segment. The two saloon variants had the proportions, performance and equipment to keep up with the competition at all times. The magazine 'hobby' devoted an extensive test report to the newcomer in 1963, which is reproduced here in restored form and with many historical illustrations.
The Simca 1300 was incomparable - in both a good and a bad sense. It offered the buyer a lot of car for little money, but also less good processing quality than some of its competitors. Nevertheless, it was a formidable piece of French automotive engineering, as the Automobil-Illustrierte magazine found in its 1963 test. This article reproduces the original wording and shows the Simca in historical photographs.
