Roger to the rescue.

We've featured this car before but it's raised its head again which is understandable as it's a regular around the Port Adelaide area. A rego check reveals it as a Simca but that is only because it once had a Simca engine in it.
Roger Wright Ok guys. Well we are going back a while here.
This car was built in Adelaide by a colleague of mine who worked with me in DCA, when I had my Bolwell Mk7 (RFN145) in the 70s.
The car was a Simca and the inspiration was a Ferrari Daytona.
The owner builder had the initials GAL and from memory they were attached to the front of the car.
While the car initially had all Simca running gear Peter Nelson and I suggested that the engine and gearbox be changed for something more modern. A Mitsubishi Sigma engine and gearbox replaced the Simca.
Good to see this car still in use and looking good.
