The engine is not a Simca......
Just to add a snippet of information - this car is French but the only race I can trace that it competed is not France...

Well it appears that we both have much the same information.......
However before I can give you the point can you also provide the year and fill in the 'x's as below -
xxx Jihel-xxxxxx IV 19xx

I have the the engine as a Citroen L4 - is that the same as you stated?
LOCKED for you to come up with some more information.

Correct!  with Pierre Rougol driving.
Strange name for a car don't you think?
Another point for you.

The hub caps suggest it's a VW based special?
It's RHD so is it from Australia?
