	Matra history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Matra became a major force in French aeronautic research, and by the 1960s, it became clear that a side-benefit of its research could be the improvement in aerodynamics as well as applied technology within motorsport.
		Matra's operation was one such victim of rationalization, being left to fend for itself until Renault purchased it in 1983.
		Matra introduced the Matra 530 as the succesor for the Djet at the Geneva Autosalon.

	Talbot Matra Murena
		In 1980 Matra had developed their project P-18 as replacement for the Matra-Simca Rancho, but since PSA didn't feel they had the money for it Matra were turned down - and Matra went on to Renault, who accepted the idea...
		The real (and confirmed) story is, however, that Matra only had the one factory line, capable of the warm galvanizing of the steel chassis and hand-assembling the cars, this alone forced them to abandon the Murena.
		Matra did have plans to use the PSA 2.9l V6 also used in the Talbot Tagora - but for some reason (energy crisis, and political signals) Talbot didn't allow this.

	Talbot Matra Rancho
		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.
		Since it was only font wheel drive, the Rancho's ability as an off-road vehicle was limited, but the generous ground clearance ensured that the underneath of the car remained clear of mud when crossing rough ground.
		Matra's replacement for the Rancho, the Espace, was to become even more successful and accelerate the MPV revolution started by its predecessor.

	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.
		Italy's Mebetoys offered two large-scale Ranchos: their crude 1:43 model should only be sought by completists; however, the 1:24 scale diecast was an accurate model and stands as the only Rancho ever offered in a scale larger than 1:36.
		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 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.
		In 1979, the Rancho was offered with a low compression petrol engine, the idea being to allow lower octane petrol to be used which was useful for support exports to those countries where petrol was generally of a lower grade than that available in France.
		This was a much larger concept than the Rancho although it was based on the Talbot Solara floorpan which was itself based on the same Simca 1100 chassis that underpinned the Rancho.

		La MATRA è una piccola casa francese che è entrata nella storia dell'automobilismo sportivo: Nel 1964, infatti, la MATRA (impegnata sopratutto in campo aerospaziale) acquisì la Renè Bonnet, piccola casa che costruiva una vettura da corsa: la Jet.
		Con l'acquisizione della piccola casa Bonnet, la MATRA continua la produzione della Jet che assume la denominazione di Djet ed inizia l'avventura sportiva che culminerà nel 1969 con la vittoria del campionato mondiale di F1 con Stewart e del mondiale Sport prototipi per tre annate consecutive nei primissimi anni 70.
		La MATRA si dedicò anche alla produzione di vetture di piccola serie e la Djet fu seguita dalla M530, dalla Bagheera e dalla Murena.

		With the end of the manufacture of the Renault Espace in 2001 (Renault made now its own Espace IVth generation) and the bad sale of the Renault Avantime (less than 8 000 units since 2002), the Matra aventure, which made these cars, is finished.
