    For when you want to take 3 people out side by side in your 80's 1600cc mid-engined coupe. A Matra Murena - the small engined version
    only ever seen photos of them in old magazines.

    From the Wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matra_Murena
    In the May 1981 issue of Car magazine automotive journalist LJK Setright, in an article titled "Murena the marvellous", described the Murena as being "endowed with a suspension so superb that it need never go slowly". He also wrote that, although not a sprinter, when it came to sustaining high speeds on winding roads "the Murena ranks high - better than the basic Porsche 924, every bit as good as the Lancia Monte Carlo, and losing only in sheer agility to the Fiat X1/9, while it shows up the Porsche 911 as ill-balanced and inept" and went on write that this "is one of the most sweetly responsive cars that ever offered a driver a choice of how to steer through a bend." In the end he felt that the car would benefit from more power

    He jerked off with the determination of someone within sight of Everest’s summit, having lost all his friends and Sherpas, having run out of supplemental oxygen, but preferring death to failure.

      A mate has two, restoring one of them. Also has an X19 race car, X19 road car, 308 Dino and a 328. He's a bit perverted.

            Pretty sure that Matra has been for sale for a long time, I remember looking at the ad quite a while ago. Would be tough to find people interested in buying it, would be a great deal of people who just have never heard of it.

                    The Bagheera is the better looking of the two.

                    Would have been an interesting car if the U8 went into production.

                          That looks pretty fucking rough. Worse it's not even home built, someone was paid to make it look like that.
