Nice looking set of cars, was it a national meet? It explains why there was so many at Thoresby on Sunday if so, I was trying to explain to the gf it was unusual to see so many rare cars at a show, ive not seen a Simca for years although there is a Talbot Solara hatch I see driving around locally  Edit, lol ive just re-read the title so i guess it was a national meet  |

What a great selection of rare tin!
I imagine that what we see there is a high percentage of what is actually left from those superb manufacturers...?!

Yes it was our National meeting. Quite a few members stayed in the area for the Thoresby show on the Sunday. A local member joined us at Thoresby with his superb brown Chysler Alpine and I'm from Chesterfield anyway as is my brother Kev who took his yellow MATRA Bagheera to Thoresby in place of the SIMCA 1100 he took to Newark Air Museum. Will post some more photos soon.

David has SIMCA 1100's and Talbot Sambas... His excuse for bringing his 205 was that it's an early 205 which used the same engine as the Talbot Samba...!!!

Tenuous.... but it really is quite a collection of stuff there, not the sort of thing that happens that often I should imagine.

We're practising for July 2014 when it's the UK club's turn to host the bi-annual International SIMCA, MATRA, Talbot meeting at Beaulieu. The last one I went to was in 2010 at Bastogne in the Belgian Ardennes in the supercharged SIMCA 1000. There were 350+ cars from the range on the show site there. We're hoping to attract a good number from around Europe there but may be a bit short of the 350..!!.
Next week we'll be back down to earth at the Santa pod Retro Show where our stand should nclde two or 3 SIMCA 1000's, 2 Sambe convertibles a Peugeot 104 (the car the Samba was made from) plus various 'other' old cars belonging to members.
