Agreed

[Keith ABS]

   Not a problem at all. I have one of that type spare.

Would make a nice project car go on Keith you know you want it

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.

I've only ever seen one of those ..... they had one in the same garage in Pompy that I bought  my MKI Cavalier Coupe from

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"

"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?

[aaronjb]

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

[Ever Ready]

Good project car for someone with the patience and skill to fix it up properly

[jimbo125]

Agreed shame about interior trim

[Steve Brookman]

Monza is lovely,
If I could get the parts I'd give it a go.

[Keith ABS]

  Can be sourced Steve. What is the full list required. i have a bonnet, know of a wing, can supply inner wing repair sections, headlamps are available, Derek GM6 has front bumper. What else?

Keith ABS

[Steve Brookman]

Thanks Keith,
Been away for a few days so just got this. Appears the Monza has gone-wonder if anyone on the forums has it.
