Description
With Bertone contracted to design the body, a young, 23-year-old stylist named Giorgetto Giugiaro was responsible for the winning look. Later named Car Designer of the Century, even in his early work it’s clear that Giugiaro knew what he was doing. He was later to produce such cars as the Lotus Espirit, original Volkswagen Golf, Passat and Sirocco. Because they are very satisfied with the result, Simca sent 13 chassis to Bertone to get them build as a coupe. Simca introduced the Bertone-bodied 1000 Coupe at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show. Before the car actually entered production, the design was further revised. Bertone would not only drawn the cars lines but they also did build the bodyshell. These shells are transported by train on special build carriages to the Simca factory in Poissy. There they would be built between the cars they are based on, the four doors Simca 1000 saloon.
This beautiful Simca is the 11th produced 1000 Coupe. It has a french registration and is easy to register in every EU country. You do not need to pay any import taxes and we can help with transport.
