Possibly. Definitely a Matra Simca but a bit hazy on exact model

Pedantic's being what it is within PH's I think you mean a later Bagheera, A Series 2 Bagheera rather than a Series 1

Wouldn't take much to get those looking presentable again.

There is one of these near us, Heswall way, pass it on a walk we do with the dog fairly regularly.

A couple of years ago I had one restored, it actually takes quite a bit of work, they are relatively complex and have some difficult to access weak points. Great cars though.

Think it’s an abandoned project rather than z race car
I’ve posted it in the “corvette” forum also

How rare is a RHD Corvette ?...^^^^^

[Brads67]

Yes, door glass looks Z3-like

[Pericoloso]

That explains why it's RHD.

Door handle is completely wrong for a Vette too.

Follow on from the Marcos GT / Mini Marcos photos posted a while ago by another PH'er…

What a shame. I remember a friend of mine bought one from derby around 1985, 3ltr ford v6. Bizarre that the seat didn’t adjust but you wound the pedals nearer.

^^^ I'm part way through David Barber's book on Marcos - when the company were designing the 1800GT Jem Marsh plonked himself in the fledgling wooden chassis while Dennis Adams and a few others shuffled bits of plywood about until it felt right. Jem being about 6'4'' was the deciding factor in the fixed seating and movable pedal box option. I sat in one at the NEC a while back, the seat was very comfortable but I'm only 5'3'' and had to wind the pedal box all the way back towards the seat!

In a town a few miles away from us. Been there for five years min and never moved. There is a CX that does get used at the back of the showroom and a couple of. BXs in the yard at the back

I've posted a picture of this forlorn Ferrari a couple of years ago but it is still there gently rusting away.

It has not moved from this driveway for at least 15 years or so. I'd imagine it is almost worthless now

Taken this morning:

Perhaps a brave buyer has come forward as the Ferrari is no longer parked in the driveway...

It was on ebay recently, the car was raised on another thread somewhere. Reached £11ish £k IIRC
