	Matra-Simca Bagheera
		Matra unveiled the successor to the M530, the M550, in spring 1973.
		In July 1975 a new model, the Bagheera S was introduced, which used a 90 bhp version of the Simca 1308 1442cc engine.
		All Bagheeras were fitted with a new dashboard, and the 1294 cc engine in the base model Bagheera was replaced with the 1442 cc unit.

	The Matra-Simca Bagheera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Matra who always had been keen to accomodate more than 2 seats, now settled for a 3 seater solution, and the Matra-Simca Baghera was born (in fact named after the panther in the Jungle Book).
		Matra considered a central driving position (as the McLaren F1 has it today) but abandonned the idea, presumeably because it would inhibit reuse of parts from any standard car, and thus make the car too expensive - missing its aim.
		The Bagheera - beautiful as it was, did however suffer from rot - the steel chassis had little or no rust protection from the factory, and hence if not maintained carefully, some cars litteraly disappeared before the owners (sad) eyes.

	Matra-SIMCA Bagheera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		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.
		Bagheera was unveiled to the press on the 14th April 1973, at Annecy Lake.
		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, 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.
		The Bagheera - beautiful as it was, did however suffer from rot - the steel chassis had little or no rust protection from the factory, and hence if not maintained carefully, some cars literally disappeared before their owners eyes.

	Term paper on Matra
		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 entered Formula One in 1968 and Jackie Stewart became world champion driving a semi-official Cosworth-powered Matra entered by the British Tyrrell team in 1969.
		Matra also developed a close partnership with Simca in the 1970s, producing Simca-engined sports cars like the Bagheera and Murena and the Matra Rancho, and early type of SUV which was based from the Simca 1100 pick-up bodyshell.

	Matra Cars in Miniature
		Early Matra road cars were largely continuations of the design principles already set down by Deutsch-Bonnet and it was not until the arrival of the Bagheera during 1973 that any of the road cars could truly be said to be the result of Matra's engineers and its cooperative venture with Simca.
		The Bagheera was an intriguing car: while it appeared to be a very traditional small sports car, its engine was mounted amidships and, rather than conform to the traditional sports car two-seat layout, a row of three individual seats spanned across the front of the cabin.
		Of course, Matra is still a very active aeronautics company and one can always hope that it will one day return to both motorsport and providing the motoring public with more fascinating road cars.

		Matra Automobiles is just a small part of the Matra group.
		The current Matra is the well known, top selling Espace, being conceived and designed by Matra Automobiles at the end of the seventies and initially offered to Talbot (originally Simca) France to replace the Rancho.
		When they turned it down, owing to a lack of spare funds and possibly foresight, Matra negotiated a contract with Renault instead, to supply the necessary mechanical parts, plus distribution through their dealer network, and the Matra P18 prototype became the Renault Espace.

		Weil Matra eine Kooperation mit dem Hersteller Simca eingegangen war, der zu dieser Zeit zum Chrysler-Konzern gehörte, trug der Wagen die Herstellerbezeichnung Matra-Simca.
		Die Gefährlichkeit eines Panthers zeigte der Bagheera - der 84-PS-Motor beschleunigte ihn immerhin auf Tempo 185 - aber nicht in Form von kritischem Fahrverhalten oder ähnlichen Macken: Mancher Beobachter fürchtete beim Blick in den Innenraum eher um sein Augenlicht, schaute er doch anfangs auf Polster in giftigem Gelb und Schwarz.
