Secma models

Who is Secma?

Secma is a French car maker based in Aniche, in the north of France. Founded by Daniel Renard, the family business is known for small, lightweight sports and leisure cars that are built by hand and approved for road use. Its roots also reach back to Renard’s earlier work with cars for drivers without a conventional licence.

That focus gives Secma a distinctive place in the French car industry: it makes compact, specialist cars for drivers who enjoy open-air motoring and a close connection to the road.

Which Secma models appear in EU figures?

The Fun 1600 is the only Secma model listed in official EU registration figures here. It spans the full period shown, from 2010 to 2025, making it the marque’s longest-running name in that record. There were 1,312 EU registrations over those years.

The model name points to the 1.6-litre engine used in Secma’s early two-seat roadster line. Secma’s range has also included the F16, Fun Buggy and turbocharged F16 versions, but the Fun 1600 is the model represented in the EU registration figures.

How did Secma’s range develop?

Secma’s range grew around the idea of a light, direct sports car, then broadened to include leisure-focused buggies and more powerful turbo models. The F16 and Fun Buggy share the company’s simple, open-air approach, while the F16 Turbo added a stronger performance branch. Secma has also announced electric leisure vehicles, showing that electrification has entered its plans; the Fun 1600 itself is a conventional petrol model.

Across the years shown, the Fun 1600 remains a consistent thread in the company’s EU registrations. The broader line-up changed around it, but its long run reflects Secma’s steady emphasis on compact, driver-focused cars.

Where are Secma cars recorded?

The market figures here are for the European Union, based on EEA registrations. They do not include separate UK, French, US or Canadian registration totals, so those markets cannot be compared from these figures. Where official fuel-consumption or emissions results are compared between regions, the test procedures differ: Europe uses WLTP or, for older results, NEDC; the USA uses EPA testing; and Canada uses a five-cycle procedure.
