Only just 56k friendly though

Wouldn't you know it, lucks on my side today

I have now acquired Sinea (pronounced Sha-Nay but with a sorta J sound at the start lol), a 1962 Simca Etole with Toyota motor and box

, along with brother and sister I have since found out.

In need of some work, but a good base. I'm gonna restore her

Interesting find I reckon..........

Opinions??
Questions??
History run down??

Here's some pics

Back left corner

Front Right Corner

Interior

Motor (look strangely familiar anyone??)

That engine bay looks huge compared to the engine!
Why, I'll bet you could fit a 1UZ in there

I can't see why not - would take a bit of work though.

All the hard stuff has been done on that and as you can see it runs too. Plus it's been done in such a way that everything is totally reversible. So I could put all original bits back in it if I wanted.

Singer Vogue you mean?? I know someone with one of them and it aint like that. You might be thinking of the Humber 80

But yes, should be alot more reliable and easier to get parts for!

It had to be said

Pretty cool, actually looks kinda cool in that colour. Would look even cooler with a 4AGE in it.

by **strap-on** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 10:50 pm

yes go for a 4AGE you can pick up a 16 v one for next to nothing and they run on the smell of an oily rag

looks like a cool project alot of work but will be worth it when finished
