Oh dear, more Matra porn. I know of only two of those on the road in the UK. Probably restorable if all the bits are there.

I think you should buy it and bring it to the resto show Pete

great idea! all the parts are there, its been stored 20 years chassis was treated before storage..

Looking at the Matra, I can see where Leepu got many of his ideas. And what about that poor R12? R12 "collection?" I'm only seeing one of them. I'm not surprised that it's a complete dog, given the seller's location.
Well done for finding the world's other surviving Tercel.

We've already got a Murena that's that bad at the resto show. Come round to stand 5-428 and have a look if you're going to be there. I'll be there all weekend. I haven't got room for another car and Mrs Pete would kill me. You, on the other hand, have a huge country estate as does Rich, and he's in the right country. There's even a club there dealing exclusively with that model.

thought you would apreciate the renault john there are a couple more tercel 4wds for sale....i quite fancy one for some strange reason.
pete ive got the parking spaces but no dosh to buy the matra.. you can hide here for a while before you break the good news to your wife, & i can put you up until she calms down too

Outdoor space is no problem, unfortunately my indoor space is full already and that looks like it needs keeping indoors.
As you already have one I nominate Rich to scrap sell the clio and buy that in it's place.
I'll be at the resto show on the Sunday. I plan on seeing all of it so i'll pop on to your stand and say Hi
The problem with classic shows is you bump in to so many people with interesting things you end up spending all day talking and missing things :S

do i detect a hint of jealousy terry?
