I was down in Adelaide from Sydney for the Bay to Birdwood last year (taking part in my Singer Gazelle) when I came across a Simca 8 in the paddock at the start. This car was beautifully restored with a maroon exterior and a light tan interior. In fact it was by far the best car resto that I have seen in a while and certainly the first of this model that I have seen in Oz.
I never did speak to the owner but I was drooling over this wonderful car for quite a while listening to comments from passers by, one of whom called it a Simca 'Hewitt'! I cracked up at their purported french pronunciation.
