The photographer doesn't recognize the car. According to https://www.rdw.nl/Ovi/Paginas/Default.aspx (https://www.rdw.nl/Ovi/Paginas/Default.aspx), the car with license plate DY-39-TX has the following information: MATRA SIMCA BAGHEERA JUBILEE, registred 01-06-1979, same owner since 01-05-2002, MoT due 13-09-2007 Very sad, seeing a good Bagheera ending this way... I don't know the owner (a friend sent me the URL), but by the looks of it, it is a very well preserved car. Until it caught fire, that is.

Fuel leak? Title: Re: Bagheera destroyed by fire Post by: brinkie on August 28, 2007, 09:31:46 am Sad :( I think so.Fuel leak? Doordat de benzinetank scheurde had de brandweer enige moeite met blussen. => Because the fuel tank ruptured, the firefighters had some trouble putting out the fire.

So remember to have a fire extinguisher in your Matra!! You are after all driving a plastic car with a plastic fuel tank that is placed next to the engine. Hans Title: Re: Bagheera destroyed by fire Post by: michaltalbot on December 29, 2007, 10:48:14 am :'( :o :'(
