		In F3 Matra signed Jaussaud and Pescarolo were joined by Johnny Servoz-Gavin and while Pescarolo won at Montlhery, Magny-Cours, Mont Ventoux and at the hillclimb in Faucille and Beltoise won Monaco, it was the young Servoz-Gavin who took the French F3 title with a string of victories.
		The Matra V12 engine was ready for the 1968 F1 season and Matra entered Beltoise in a Matra-engined MS11 while Tyrrell ran Stewart in a Ford-engined MS10.
		Matra's main thrust of development that year was in sportscar racing with the MS630M.

	Matra Murena: Chrysler Europe’s coupe
		The engine came later, but it was decided to equip the M551 with a 1.6-litre version of the Bagheera S engine (as later used in the Alpine and Solara), and an optional 2.2-litre development of the Chrysler 2-Litre unit (later to be found in the Tagora).
		Matra did not give up on the idea of a faster Murena, but Peugeot would not play ball: a promising V12 designed by André Legan was passed over after not progressing far beyond the drawing board.
		Matra would be left to fend for itself, but not for long: Renault swooped in and entered into a similar commercial partnership.

		Matra Espace was the space division of Matra which merged with the space operations of GEC (Marconi Space Systems) in 1989 to form Matra Marconi Space.
		Matra also developed a close partnership with Simca in the 1970s, producing Simca-engined sports cars such as the Bagheera, the Murena and the Rancho, an early type of SUV - albeit that it was two-wheel-drive - which was based on the Simca 1100 pick-up bodyshell.
		Matra is also the name of a commune of the Haute-Corse département in France, on the island of Corsica.

		In 1951 Matra employed 800 and Chassagny decided that air-to-air missiles were the coming thing in armaments, so he abandoned conventional weapons to concentrate on the modern remote- controlled instruments.
		Matra's first big contract for this form of weapon was for the French Mirage jet-fighter, followed by another for the Aeronaval Crusader, and then for various foreign aircraft.
		Matra's manager also introduced to the press the designers and technicians who were to be charged with the task of producing a brand new V12-cylinder racing engine.

		Initially Matra used Cosworth and BRM engines but funding from Elf in 1967 enabled Matra to begin work on the construction of a 3-liter V12 engine for Formula 1.
		In 1975 the Matra V12 engines were supplied to Shadow and raced by Jean-Pierre Jarier in two events but the team could not afford to fund the development program and gave up the idea.
		It was not quite the end of the Matra V12 story, however, as in mid-1980 Peugeot decided to revive the Talbot name and concluded that Grand Prix racing was the best way to do it.

		Matra Sports was independent and relied on Renault to supply drive trains for their mid-engine sport cars.
		Matra, who had always been interested in producing a car with more than two seats, came up with a 3-seater, and the Matra-Simca Bagheera was born (in fact named after the panther in Rudyard Kiplings, The Jungle Book).
		Matra originally considered a central driving position (as the McLaren F1 has it today) but abandoned that idea, presumably because it would not allow for the standardization of parts from existing cars, thus making the new car too expensive.

	Matra Rancho: Chrysler Europe’s Car-Based SUV
		The Matra Bagheera had been well received by the press and buyers alike, and the company decided that it was ready for expansion.
		Matra reasoned that there could be a market for a car that looked as rugged as the Range Rover but which was smaller, cheaper, lighter and more economical.
		Matra – already looking for something to build alongside the Bagheera and taken by the idea of a mini Range Rover - was only too happy to pick up on the idea.

	History
		Matra, at that time not yet involved in building cars, supplied the plastic body-kits for the djet.
		Matra wanted to be able to accommodate more than 2 persons, and the three-seater idea was born.
		During the years Matra began seing competition for the Bagheera, and it was obvious that the Bagheera lacked power In 1976 the Bagheera-S was launched.

	Talbot Matra Rancho
		Matra decided to develop a utility vehicle capable of off-road work, but without the expense of four wheel drive.
		Matra's engineers took as their starting point the Simca 1100 pick-up and lengthened the chassis to accept a roomy estate car body produced in glass fibre and polyester.
		Matra's replacement for the Rancho, the Espace, was to become even more successful and accelerate the MPV revolution started by its predecessor.

	Matra-Simca Bagheera
		Matra unveiled the successor to the M530, the M550, in spring 1973.
		But it was a much sleeker machine, incorporating three abreast seats, and a rear hatch, which gave access to the top of the engine compartment behind the driver's and passengers' heads.
		Unfortunately, Matra had not given as much thought as they should to allowing water to drain off the metal structure, with the result, over time, that the steel framework rusted underneath the smart looking bodywork.

	IMCDb.org: 1981 Talbot Matra Murena in "A View to a Kill, 1985"
		Matra was never owned by Chrysler or it's French arm, Simca, though it had a commercial understanding with Simca between 1969/1970 (I think) and 1978/9, when Chrysler sold it's European operations to PSA.
		Matra Automobile continued to build all variants of the Esapce until the current generation of the car.
		It was a sad end to a company which, first as Engins Matra then as Matra Sports, not only produced a string of innovative cars but also won the F1 World Championship (in 1969) and the Le Mans 24 hours race (in 1972, 1973 and 1974).

	Development of the Matra Bagheera cars
		The Matra company were responsible for two extremely interesting mid-engined sports cars during the 1960s; its own version of René Bonnet's Djet, and then, in 1967, the first car to be designed entirely by Matra: the M530.
		Matra's plan was simple: built an inexpensive, yet practical sports car, using as many off-the-shelf components as possible, with a view to increasing sales considerably.
		The Bagheera sold well enough for Matra to increase its resources enough to contemplate a second model line (the Rancho), and thanks to being under the protective wing of Chrysler, it was not directly exposed to some of the economic difficulties encountered by rival sports car producers.

		Matra started out as an aeronautical engineering contractor, which in 1964 took over the René Bonnet sports cars.
		The Djet would be sold as a Matra, and within 3 years the company would switch production to their new factory at Romorantin, where it launched the M530.
		This beautiful coupe was powered by the Ford V4 engine, but the lack of a proper dealer network with which to sell the M530 would deprive the car of the success it deserved.
