I think that is excellent value for money, and is unique with the three abreast seating

This car sold for around $16K I think at Lloyds earlier this year. I had a look at it - they had trouble keeping it idling, and had a few oil leaks from gearbox and motor. Interior a little tired. It did run though -

So the current owner is lying about having owned it for 32 years?

 

[Fireblade]

Ok - yes - I should be more precise "It looks like a car I saw at Lloyds auctions earlier this year..." could well be a different car...

 

[Armidillo]

Could also be a timely reminder to anyone buying a 2nd-hand car - do your due diligence and don't take everything you are told at face value.

 

[Fireblade]

Or possibly -- it didn't meet reserve at the Lloyds auction...

I checked to see that it isn't the one in Perth under restoration..... It isn't.

Gee, it isn't often these days, that I see a car I've never seen or heard of before! I like it a lot! What great styling

Which version John? 1.6 engine or 2.2 engine? Who has this car?

 

[J-man]

The front reminds me a bit of one of my favourite Fiat's, the X1.9.
Oops, did I admit that on here

I also like the X1/9 J-man, love the Bertone styling. Not keen on the American bumper version

Hammond drove one of these on "Carnage a Trois" recently on The Grand Tour.
Gee, they trashed some nice French cars in that episode...

I'm with you there Col. I've even seen people put the early bumpers on the late ones.

Clever things - I have a cousin very emotionally attached to such a Fiat!

No, that's correct to my knowledge.

Interesting cars, Matras. Have a great Christmas btw.

I remember hogging the drivers seat in an X1/9 as a pesky 11 year old at the Adelaide Motor Show when they came out. I bought Matchbox X1/9's toys in blue and green and drooled over them in Castle Motors on Portrush Rd. I was in love
Merry Christmas to you too John

Matra also built the first Espace that was later developed into a Renault Espace in 1984. The first Espace was built on the same assembly line as the Matra Murena.
