The '''Simca 1307''' is a  [[large family car]] produced by [[Chrysler Europe]] and subsequently [[Groupe PSA|PSA Peugeot Citroën]] from 1975 to 1986. Codenamed 'C6' in development, the car was styled in the United Kingdom by [[Roy Axe]] and his team at [[Whitley, Coventry|Whitley]], and the car was engineered by Simca at Poissy in France.

A modern, [[front-wheel drive]] [[hatchback]], it was one of the earliest such cars in the class  along with the [[Renault 20]], [[Renault 30]] and [[Volkswagen Passat]], and became the 1976 [[European Car of the Year]].<ref name="Telegraph">{{cite journal | url = https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/classic/chrysler-alpine-remembering-the-most-unlikely-car-of-the-year/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160506022514/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/classic/chrysler-alpine-remembering-the-most-unlikely-car-of-the-year/ | archive-date = 2016-05-06 | title = Chrysler Alpine: remembering the most unlikely Car of the Year | journal = [[The Daily Telegraph]] | last = Roberts | first = Andrew | date = 2016-04-09 }}</ref> It had been in development since 1972.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/car-development/dev-alpine.html |title=Development of the Chrysler – Talbot Alpine cars |publisher=Rootes-chrysler.co.uk |date=2 April 1976 |access-date=2011-07-08}}</ref>
