SIMCA ARIANE 4, 1962 1st registration: 12/11/1962 Type : VP Body : CI Serial number : 410922 Fiscal power : 7 CV Energy : ES Displayed mileage : 6 331 kms (not guaranteed) "A swallow with a bird's appetite", the Simca Ariane was one of the most popular cars of the late 50s. Faced with falling sales due to soaring fuel prices, Simca CEO Henri-Théodore Pigozzi came up with the idea of creating a new model using the engine from the Aronde (the brand's most popular model) under the bodywork of the Vedettes Trianon. Weighing in at 1,100 kg, it could hardly exceed 120 km/h, but the main aim of reasonable fuel consumption was thus achieved. Its interior, with room for up to six people, will appeal to both heavy-duty drivers and families, contributing to its success. Unveiled to the general public in 1957, just over 159,000 units were produced. Our Miramas SL (super luxury) model, recognizable by the checkered flag on the fender, features a 1,290 cm3 "rush" engine delivering around 55 horsepower. The four-speed manual transmission offers a smooth ride, ideal for daily commutes or escapades on country roads. Technical specifications Body : - Type: four-door sedan - Dimensions: Length: approx. 4.50 m. Width: approx. 1.70 m Height: approx. 1.50 m Engine type - Type: petrol, in-line four-cylinder - Displacement: variant with Rush Super Flash 1290 cm³ engine - Power: approx. 55 hp - Transmission: four-speed manual gearbox Performance : - Top speed: approx. 130 km/h - Acceleration (0-100 km/h): approx. 24 seconds - Average fuel consumption: approx. 8-9 litres/100 km Chassis : - Suspension: front independent wheels, rear rigid axle with coil springs - Brakes: four-wheel drum brakes The engine has been successfully restarted, but as the car has been parked in the dry for several years, it needs a complete overhaul, including a check of all safety components. The paintwork has a few defects, but is of a very good appearance. Structural elements show little visible corrosion. Pitting on chromes. Upholstery in good condition. French registration document, in collection. With roadworthiness certificate.
