Hmm.... Pschitt.

A bit of a difficult marketing task to sell in the UK, if they tried to import it. Although it says Bonbons, Pschitt is a fizzy lemonade.

That's the noise it makes as you open the bottle.

Did exactly the same to my brother's Marina in 1988, except in a back lane, not in the street. That wasn't because of being ashamed to work on cars in the street, it was just a matter of convenience. About a year before, I welded up the rear of the sills on his Mini, and changed the rear subframe, right outside our  front door, on a very similar street to that. Neighbours were much more tolerant in working class areas in those days, just normal people, not roided up tattoo covered thugs with necks like a wedding cake tier.

I would have considered one of those. A slight Astra F vibe, but less boring.

R.I.P. Tom Matano (1947-2025), automotive designer who helped create the Mazda MX-5 Miata. 

Here he is with a Fiat 850 Sport Coupe Abarth in California in the 70's.

Would you look at the panel gap on the door of the Simca 1100.  The good old days.

[eddyramrod]

Simcas were not at the top of the build-quality tree, I know, but looking closely... isn't that door open a bit?  That might give a wrong impression.
