Does someone know which brand and type car this is?

I found it in France, so I think it's a Simca, but I don't know which type.... Any experts???

could be a simca or a renault, the simca 1100 and the renault 8 were pretty much the same cars, just a different logo on the front...

where did you find this one?
she definitly needs to be saved... if decently restored it could be a real collectable!

I found it nearby Lac de Panneciere in France, a few km. from Chateau Chinon. That's in Burgundy, Nièvre, Parc National Du Morvan.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simca

Simca fut un constructeur automobile français, créé en 1935 pour construire en France des véhicules Fiat sous licence. La marque a été abandonnée en 1980, au profit de Talbot. Elle fait aujourd'hui partie du patrimoine de PSA Peugeot Citroën.

Oops, my French is not very good... I just copy-pasted from Wikipedia ... I think you said "I thought Simca was a brand from an Eastern country!" No idea what "Autant pour moi" means...

That car is the worst pile of shit I have ever seen. Why would you even waste film on that thing?

i do...
sorry french cars aren't always the shite that they are compared too... for example this one was powered by a rear mounted engine and won several rallys, the R8 gordini, that was!

sorry 'bout the french, it's just a french car

->found in france, so i think dacia 1100 can be replaced by simca 1100 the dacia 1100 was never available in france, as far as i know...
but then again, we can argue here just on de shape of the body, i need to see it in person... some small details like dashboard etc. can give the final answer...

...but stil i think simca 1100, because the R8 was a collectable right of from the start...
