Simca Vedette Regence (8x16)

Air date: Sep 11, 2023

For this new project, François Allain was entrusted with the restoration of an exceptional vehicle. A Simca Vedette Regence from 1955, the first year of its production. But it remained immobile for at least 30 years. The challenge for François: to restore luxury to this legendary model of the French brand. On the program: mechanics of all kinds, engine is blocked and not running, security system and clutch to be reviewed, brakes and exhaust line to be replaced. Small difficulty, François will have to find the missing fittings such as the logo, hubcaps and tires. What wouldn't François do for a friend?
