Here's something a bit different; a 1959 Simca P60 Aronde Oceane Convertible. The little (well, actually not all that small for the time and country of production) Flash Special 1290cc OHV 4 cylinder pumped out anywhere between 57 and 70 bhp, depending on setup. Though the seller is correct and these are rare here in the States, they aren't everywhere else because 11,560 were produced and sold worldwide.
K2's Buy Prognosis: Thumbs down unless you're looking (and prepared) for something rare and difficult to maintain. In other words, you must have a personal mechanic or a garage filled with tools. Parts availability is extremely poor, so the buyer should be on the outlook for one or more parts cars. A really neat car, though.
That's a neat car. I've never seen a Oceane before but I have seen a Plein Ciel Coupe. This convertible is a superb find.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. This is a fantastic car. I'd love to have one, even knowing that it would be an adventure maintaining it.

ReplyDelete@Bolo; I've never seen either in the flesh. That's too cool!
ReplyDelete@WD4D; buy it so I can have a ride!
