Inner wing, bumper and slam panel all need fettling too :-\

Not sure what these currently fetch, but might be a viable long-termer...

In the also viewed area there is another one breaking for spares. It's even the same colour!

Although the very rusty(I don't even need to read the listing, they are always very rusty) Matra Bagheera S could tempt me to break the don't buy a French car rule.

Although low mileage inner wings may need a lot of work doing, as might all the other usual places that rust hide out on a Monza

The pictures agree as you can see daylight through the boot floor. And I don't mean "a bit peeking through" I mean "a child could climb through that hole" ;D

"They're all like that, Sir. Well the 10.5 that are left in the UK, and that's actually 17 cars." Low production French engineering, Simca 1100 parts, and no quality control whatsoever  are the cause.


I've always fancied one of these(or a Murena), but they're so utterly terrible I don't understand why. It can't just be because they are so pretty. Can it?

They're not even that pretty (the Bagheera, anyway) - remind me of an SD1 mating with a TR7.. [edit] I mean..

They've got "we left a big hole and don't know how to fill it" rear ends: http://aitbudapest.com/wp-content/uploads/2013-09-21/le-conducteur-du-jour-la-panthre-noire-blanche_4.jpg
And droopy eyes that look like they have .. well: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nD0-vw2Bx0M/maxresdefault.jpg
