		Matra was founded as a sports car company when Mechanique Avion Traction bought out the small racing car firm of Rene Bonnet - it had been supplying the fibreflass body of that company's D'Jet since 1962.

		But the original Matra company had by now become a major aeronautical and weapons conglomerate, the Lagardere Group, which finally sold the automotive division to Pininfarina last September.
