I saw quite a few of these at a recent Simca Matra Talbot meeting in Europe recently.


The reliability seems to leave a bit to be desired though

I have a soft spot for Turners. In many ways they are a typical low volume car, using a variety of engines and gearboxes etc from major manufacturers, but somehow they manage to be a cut above the rest. Perhaps it's because their styling made them look more "together" than many of their contemporaries. When I lived in Wolverhampton a couple of years ago I used to drive past their old factory site on the way to work.

Ah yes, the Simca 1200 Coupe, lovely little cars, Mick is making slow progress, seems much more interested in grafting Simca engines into Fiat 133s and Honda engines into Simca 1000s.

Nice! That needs the original photo methinks:

Like those old Fiats the 2300 coupe was far better looking than the saloon in my view.

Other under mentioned cars would include the Bond gt 2+2 (better looking than the 4s or the 2000 in my view) and the Ginetta G21, which is a corker!
