Inspired by the Myers Manx, Nuccio Bertone, fell in love with the dune buggy concept, and set Gandini to work transforming the Simca 1200.
The interior was spartan, with a bare minimum of gauges and interior finish. The seats were open leather webbing. There were no doors, but a chrome rail provided some minimal side protection.
Despite being a hit at the Paris Show, there were never any production plans. It would have been too expensive to produce, plus, at a time when production car safety was becoming a real issue, a car like the Shake would have been a liability.
there were 2 made, one was destroyed soon after being built
it was auctioned off along with the rest of the The Bertone Caprie headquarters car collection in Spet 2015
