SIMCA ARONDE P60

Saloon, estate car, hardtop coupè.

Clever restyle applied to an ageing theme; five-bearing 'Rush' engine for 1961 - Montlhèry and hardtop Monaco with 62bhp (some later models 70bhp); cheap Etoile and Elysèe only 52bhp, though still good for 75-80mph. Etoile 6CV, with 1089cc engine, not seen here, and almost all UK imports are of saloon and hardtop Arondes.
