well, to me it was new at least.
Driving back from Le Mans - near Rouen I saw an Espace J63 with a lifted roof, looking suspiciously like somebody combined the high Rancho roof and the Epsace. There was a glass window in the slanted front section though (where the Rancho has solid fibreglass).
The surface was smooth - no joints could be seen, and the paintwork was beautiful. In other words, it looked very professional.
Did Matra ever produce a "camper-Espace" - eg for emergency vehicles (ambulance?) or something ?
I was in traffic, so unfortunately I couldn't get my camera from the boot. (that should teach me to pack the camera *inside* the car instead
)
