WTF is this??

It's an abandoned Simca model which was to replace the 1100 and 1501, called Projet A during it's 1967 - 70 development.  Intended to be a 1970s rival to the Escort, Viva, Kadett, etc.  

In 1970 Chrysler focussed on the Hillman Avenger instead.

Scrapyards would have been full of them late 70s early 80s.

A mate had a blue V-reg 1300CL one of these around 1988, looked pretty similar to this one. Bought for £40 with 3 months' MOT.  You couldn't open the rear hatch as the whole hinge area was crumbly rotten, the rear edge of the roof skin was 3 full-width strips of duct tape.  Floor was rotten and sitting in the passenger seat was like being in a rocking chair. Great fun to thrash about.

This one's actually a pre-production test mule. (At least I think it is).
