While talking of Matra's, could you help me ID this one please Jean-Marc? I've tried searching the net and looked through a few books, but cannot find any info on it Was it a concept? When was it made? ..Was it just called Sport? -- Last edit: 2009-05-28 09:06:26 |

At 1st glance , i have no idea. I'll check if I find something in an old Politoys catalog I have |

not you , don't worry....but my job did !! Now I'm back for ending this work By the way, i've just checked my die-cast models catalogs, unfortunately I didn't find any thing matching with this car. The general shape is very italienish-style of the late 60's/early 70's...I thought about somewhat like Maserati Ghilbi, but it doesn't match at 100% |

It is a model of the 1968 Matra M530 Sport - with Vignale body: http://www.galeriedesdamiers.com/index.php?page=matra-sport-m530-vignale-1968 For me it was a showcar. |

Did you guess or what ? |
◊ 2009-05-29 07:08 |
Yes, an educated guess.! I knew it was Matra, I guessed it was a concept as it wasn't in any of my catalogues/year books or showing up on any regular searches on the net. From the general shape I thought as you did ...late 60's/early 70's, so it had to have been made around the time of this M530 ..and before the Bagheera came along.! Only you adding this car yesterday, reminded me I had an unidentified Matra in my diecast collection. |
