MatraSport Forum

Hello,
my name is Romeo an I am from Croatia. I can English understan but I can seak German too. I have murena 2.2 but with engine 1.6. Now is time for restauration, ...se my pictures...and I will put engine from peugeot 405 sri...dont ask me why...how can help me ...

hello romeo,
welcome to the forum.
The car looks a nice base for restoration.
You have to do a lot of work, but when ready you have a nice car to drive, and i think there are not many in Croatia.
Good luck.

Hi Romeo and welcome to the forum. It looks like you have yourself a really good project there! Great to see another Murena being restored. The engine you are fitting is the same used in the 205 GTi (at least according to wikipedia), which is a rather common conversion for 1.6 Murena's. The forum owner here has one, for example.

I'm sure we are all looking forward to following your progress and offer advice, should you need that!

Regards,
Anders :)

Hi,
Iam 39 years old and crazy for Murena, in Croatia now is 3-4 Murenas, I can find peugeot 405 sri with 2.0 engine komplet car for small price, what do you think, engine from peugeot and gear box from matra 2.2??? it is o.k or ??

Best regards from Croatia

No. I think you will have to use the gearbox from the peugeot as well.... which means making new axles too...

Nice job. But why such a small engine when you are going through the trouble of a swap?

Your made a lot of progress in a short time.
Keep up the good work.

hello, long time I was not hier....too much job for me and not enough time  for my matra...I was lasy...look now...

Nice job.
This will protect the car for the next 25 year to come.
Keep up the good work.

Yes, this car stay by me and my junior ...long...long time...

You do know that there is a Dutch family of Croatian origin who drive all sorts of Matra sports cars (they're only short of a D'jet). I believe they have published an article in a Croatian car magazine, with all 3 their Murena's (1.6, 2.2, 2.2S tuned to 180 bhp).

Yes...familie Rizvic...very nice car's in garage  :D

 :o

Probably next week paint in red colour..... ;)

RED DEVIL......

....situation on 08.12.2010., my matra is at home..... ;D

Nice colour ;) How are You going to remove the paint from parts where it hadn't to be? Because chassis parts have to be silver - just galvanised, without colour. I mean front nose, wheel arches, etc. Or You are going to make them dark black as the panel under the front windshield have to be?

Maybe I am missing something, but I think he can paint these parts any colour he wants.... :)

The main thing is to get another murena back on the road in good order.

tja, my englisch is very bad, I speak german but.....OK...everything is in red colour, some parts are black...engine is not original ( from peugeot)...I make car for me...not for exibition show...1989 in my town was one red murena...I was 18 years young....and may wish...sometimes  this car in my garage...and now... ;D
