Les Belles Années Simca
Quintessentially French, and documents the Simca brand as it evolved ultimately leading to it's integration into the PSA amalgamation. Indeed, the 52nd model in the collection is always a good pub quiz tester, as the Peugeot 205 based prototype Talbot Arizona which was meant to replace the Horizon, (and the 305), became the Peugeot 309, as PSA dropped the whole Talbot name, the Express van being the final production to carry that brand name. This explains the 'out of sequence' model number, as it was alongside the 205 & 505, with the 405 launching 2 years later.
NB: This is my third attempt at collating this collection, as there are significant differences cited online, indeed lengthy research has suggested it was released twice in France, and once in Spain, but the sequences appear different, (coupled with the lists I originally found on forums, (some time ago), both ''repeated data'' ie copied and pasted sequences of the collection which I only discovered 2 days in 😭 ) I almost gave up more than once, as even Google AI couldn't give me a straight answer, however I latterly found the cited list below and stuck to it's sequence for the presentation. I am almost convinced that between the multiple releases there are more models out there, as you'll notice for the difference in number 64, (unless someones been at it with the paintbrush). Similarly I reckon I have at least two in my collection that don't appear on this list, so any extras I'll add at the bottom.
Unbranded models in this collection, but hold all the hallmarks of being IXO, or PCT to be technically correct
There is some sparce details listed about the relaunch over here - https://cntrois.over-blog.com
MASSIVE shout out the the multiple stockists below for their photos, otherwise I would have binned this altogether.
