1981 Matra Murena

The 1981 Matra Murena is a unique French sports car from the early 1980s. It features an innovative fiberglass body, mid-engine layout, and an unusual three-seat configuration. This example is largely original and offers an authentic Murena experience, making it an interesting choice for enthusiasts.

The vehicle has a 1,592 cc four-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox. It is painted red and has an indicated mileage of 68,070 km. The chassis number is X5551BX608664, and it is a left-hand drive model.

The bodywork is original and in good condition, showing signs of use. The paint has normal wear and tear. The underside is dirty, and the interior and carpets show heavy signs of use with worn carpets. The engine bay is dirty but complete. The engine is in good and honest condition, though all cooling hoses need replacement. The vehicle has been well maintained, with fluids in good order. The battery should be replaced soon.

The clutch and gearbox function well, and the brakes and handbrake operate correctly. The electrical system is functional, with wipers and heater working, but the horn and voltmeter are defective. Some repairs are needed for the lights, specifically the right-hand high beam and reverse light. Suspension and axles are in good working order.

Highlights include its authentic presentation as an original example, its rarity as a French mid-engined sports coupé with three seats, and its potential as a basis for further optimization.
