Hi Jacob, The one you are working on is DTH531 then. I thought it was the -75 because it had the steel side panels in the luggage compartment. My -74 is open all the way out to the fibreglass. My -74 passed its test in august and I got a few hundred km. in it before the winter (or rain period) started. Here are some pics from an event I attended: http://www.jec-sweden.se/images/Sportvagnstraffen/album/index.htmlRegards. Stig DTH531 MATRA BAGHEERA PB 1974 SVART PAB158 SIMCA MATRA PB 1974 RÖD I only have the orignalpapers and manuals for the PAB158 - the one on the pictures. The DTH531 is my upcomming V12 project. Concerning the steelpanels in the trunk. it's car to car, how rusty they have been thru the years maybe? Because my DTH531 (Black) hasn't the steel side planels. And this Red PAB158 has. The bagh is an shape of it's own. So beautiful

Jacob,
If the engine will be a peugeot one and if the shape will only be approximative, not the same lenght, why do you speak of U8 replica ?
Only for the rear lights ?
Won't you prefer to do a real replica then ? If yes, I can provide the details. Pictures or the rear tubular frame, details on the engines to match, front axes, brakes , the gearbox ...

Checked my mail and Spyros is correct. Andy is planning to use a Shorrock supercharger on a 1.6 emgine in his blower bag project. Andy is on the Matra Enthusiast Club UK mailinglist. You can sign up at the bottom of this page http://www.matraclub.org.uk/links.htmlVery infrequent used mailing list and mostly Murena related. Regards, Stig

No , the engine on my black X is a tuned 1.6 (m na ) engine. Outside exactly as the original but 1590, MaxiRoute Camshaft, flowed head, DCNF40 carbs ... and mated to the AT gearbox. Usual development road. That one will find his way on another chassis I have. If and when I finished it... Plenty of details to solve still I'm today very happy because I might have found the ideal cam belt. Did you realize that there are something like 10 different teeth profiles for cam belts ? + multiple width (need at least something similar as the pulley) + the length + the pitch ... It's going to be exotic.
