Simcas were built in small numbers at NZ Motor Bodies in Mt Wellington from 1960 – starting at a rate of 1.5 per day. Not many survive, with only six Arondes – I found Number 7.

Richard_FM Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I found a few years ago on a bangernomics sure a post by someone who did up old cars in New Zealand. Over the years he had an Austin Princess, Fiat 128 coupe & 126. I’ll try to find a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know when it moved to Nine Elms , but when I worked there in 1981 it was pretty much trendified and not much different than today, but with more wine bars and less chain restaurants and bars.
