Why it matters
The STC-16 was Turkey's first sports car and the second car designed entirely in Turkey. Only 175 production cars were made, and its rally version won numerous events in Turkey and Europe. It is FIVA-homologated and accepted in international classic events.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionproduced 1973–1975, excluding 3 prototypes of 1972 | 1751 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Designed by Turkish designer Eralp Noyan, the STC-16 followed three prototypes built in 1972 and was produced from 1973 to 1975, with 175 cars completed. It used a 1599 cc Ford Kent Crossflow engine driving the rear wheels, and at over 70,000 Turkish Liras it cost far more than other Anadol models. The 1973 oil crisis reduced demand and slowed production. A competition version with a modified 140 bhp engine and a lighter FRP chassis won numerous rallies.

06Reference
Identification guide
How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.
Road cars use a shortened and modified Anadol H-frame steel chassis under fibreglass (FRP) bodywork; the rally version used a lighter FRP chassis. Most cars were painted Alanya Yellow, with others red with white stripes or white with blue stripes. The dashboard carries a resettable trip distance indicator, a Lucas ammeter and Smiths oil, fuel and temperature gauges.
