Decent quality photos of Matra 670/680 disassembled.

I'm trying to look for photos of Matra 670/680s at least partially disassembled to get some idea of the details of the suspension, mechanicals, and chassis.

I'm asking because I haven't found any good photos of 670s or the 680 being worked on or on display in such a fashion.

I know that the 680 is a longshot, as only one was built, but it share the monocoque and suspesion(and powertrain) with the 670B/C. Can someone help out?

You need to take contact with JP Humbert and his team. They've set up a restoration company

I assume you have seen the 670 and 680 pics here:

Unfortunately the I don't have the "x-ray" one in higher resolution.

there are more M680 pictures from the Matra exhibition at Le Mans in 2002 here:

Still not disassembled, and unfortunately just before I bought a decent camera.

At Zul Racing in Derbyshire, they are currently restoring a M670B, which can be seen at this gallery:

I may have more pics in the archive.

Which details are you looking for in particular ?

Thanks guys. I mostly wanted photos of the tub, suspension, and basic driveline architecture, which are here.
