Came from the Jungle Book.. what is a French Matra car?

history:

Matra are a French aerospace company[they make satellites, missiles, heavy stuff] who made racing cars in the 60's and 70's. They had notable success in LeMans same period as Ford were doing well with the wonderful GT40.

They had a number of road cars, including the D'Jet, the Bagheera and latterly the Murena, and they also designed the Renault Espace people carrier, before selling the motor assembly line to Renault.

The Bagheera is a really cute car, three seats abreast, mid engined, low and sexy, and designed in the French idiom, more for style than for outright speed.

This is not mine. My one is black, with acid green velour seats, not yet restored.
