Definitely a French Simca Aronde. My father owned the Elycee version from 1960 until we came to Australia, then bought an estate version over here in Australia.

The one in the photo has a straight trim strip, so I am guessing it was the basic model - was that the Etoile? My memory of the trim levels is a bit hazy. Our Elycee had a thicker stripe at the front, dipping towards the rear wheel arch then kicking up again as a single trim strip to the rear end of the sdes. The Monthlery model had the thicker strip along the whole length of the side, with a dip towards the rear wheel arch.

 

Edit: the French Dinky Toy models were of the Monthlery.

The shape and size of the trim strip differed  according to year of manufacture as well as model. It's definitely a Simca P60, though. My father had a Monthlery Speciale from 1962 to 1966-ish and that had a narrow straight strip running the whole length of the side. I think . . . :scratchhead:

There's some nice looking vehicles in there range And some 1970s cars like the R16.
