I think you would do yourself a favour by mentioning whereabouts you live. :-)
However, the IP address you posted from appears to be in th UK, which should give you plenty of possibilities.

Also, you might want to join the Matra club UK - as there are cars for sale within the club, and evenly important, plenty of possibilities for spareparts and advice. MECUK and other clubs are listed here:   http://www.matrasport.dk/pointers.html#clubs

There looks to be a nice Murena on the bay at the moment! Looks worth a bid!

Cheers mate.. and welcome to the world of matra geeks!!
If its the same to you, I will STRONGLY recommend that you go for a Murena and not a Bagheea.
Especially since you suggest a restoration project..
Unless you take a particular joy in mending rust , you would be far better off with a  Murena.
The bag is renown for its ability to corrode... in fact is ability to decompose was a  key reason for the Murena being the first production car to be hot dip galvanized.. they were THAT bad.
I like the look of the bagheea very much, but I believe Murenas to be a "superior car in every way, and i think it will make for a much more "manageable" project.. with simons stocking a complete inventory of spare parts.
