Suncar was founded in 1980 by Mr Arie in Annecy (74). He introduced the Arpège, a replica whose lines evoke a retro 1930s roadster. The highly distinctive design does not seek to imitate any specific model. Well-equipped and made from polyester, the Suncar borrows its components from the Renault 5 TS (steering, suspension, brakes, engine). The unusual “van” version was launched in 1982. In 1984, Suncar was taken over by Kamouh International France, based in Clermont-Ferrand (63), which took over production. Sold by KIF, the 1984 Suncar Arpège “van” was priced at 152,000 francs. When compared to the price of an Alpine A310 V6 (151,000 francs) in the same year, one can better appreciate the rarity of this unique utility vehicle.
Ivoire Troyes is delighted to offer you this SUNCAR Arpège “van”. Its polyester bodywork is in fairly good overall condition, despite some early signs of separation on the left front wing. The interior features Sparco bucket seats, a wooden dashboard and the added bonus of a small glass sunroof. A rare curiosity, this Suncar Van evokes the spirit of the 1980s kit car craze and also presents a fine opportunity for a collectable utility vehicle for advertising or promotional purposes.
