The UK company Zul-Racing are currently restoring a MS11 for a client - and they have kindly started sending me pictures of the process : http://www.matrasport.dk/Cars/Sports-Formula/Stories/Zul-Racing/index.htmlLooks so simple and elegant. Interesting, fascinating, fabulous, fantastic - what else ? :-) /Lennart |

Zul Racing are very interested in any pictures that can be found of this car - it is MS11 Chassis No 2, 1968.
All my stuff is currently packed in cardboard boxes (moving to UK by Feb 1) so I cannot help, but maybe some of you have access to such pictures ?
I have recently upped the allowed attachment sizes, so a post on this forum may have up to 4 attachments, taking up a total of up to 3Mb. No single attachment may however exceed 2Mb, but that should make posting of larger pictures possible.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Lennart... they are really interesting to see. Notice the solid brake discs for example. Also the aerodynamically shaped upper A-arm is interesting to see and shows how much they were aware of aerodynamics back then. It's also interesting to see how the damper and front spring is fitted inside the chassis, perhaps in an attempt to reduce drag? The geometries look very fixed, however, and not with any of the tuning options of newer race cars. Is it the anti-roll bar we can see behind the brake and clutch fluid containers? That looks reasonably easy to replace, though, and is useful to adjust for neutral steering. Rear end seems to have more adjustment options, however... Interesting, interesting!  |

I went to Derby to visit Zul racing this weekend - FABULOUS! It turned out they are even restoring yet another Matra - a M670B ! The engine was not back from the engineshop yet, but within a a month or so, both cars are expected to be tested on Donnington Park - and hopefully I'll be there too. Here are my pictures from the visit: http://www.matrasport.dk/Cars/Sports-Formula/Stories/20070210/index.html/Lennart |
