Spot on!

And yes it does = now I am freaked out....

The bizarre thing is that they were not that common when new, and minutes after I saw that one, I saw another one

Ours definitely never did that, I seem to remember getting overtaken by lorries on motorways! but as it had 7 seats the very back seats where facing backwards we used to wave at all the lorries passing us!

Love the Matra. Would defo have one if somebody offered me one (mind you, I wouldn't pay for one! )

It invented the "Land Rover" stepped roof a decade before the discovery came along!

Matra Rancho, more stable and controllable than a Nissan 280Z

Or was you trying to suggest something else? I didn't watch it all...

I was just a kid then, but then already did NOT like the talbot with his stupid yellow circles
