Talbot-Matra Bagheera X - Here is the rare example with a galvanized chassis
Some classics impress with famous names. Others inspire because they have followed their very own path from the outset. This Talbot-Matra Bagheera clearly belongs to the second category: a low-slung mid-engine sports coupé with pop-up headlights and three seats side by side - an idea that is hardly found a second time in this form.
The particular rarity is concealed "under" the glass-fibre-reinforced plastic body. This vehicle is one of only 10-15 examples worldwide to have a galvanized chassis. The Bagheera was generally fitted with a steel chassis ex works and ..... rusted endlessly!!
It is precisely this that makes this classic something very special, especially for connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
This Bagheera dates from the final production year, August 1979. Its history initially took it through two French owners before it continued its journey in Germany with its previous owner. A pleasant, manageable ownership history for a classic whose French character remains palpable to this day.
But this Bagheera is not just a collector's item to be admired reverently in the garage. It has a valid TÜV inspection until 08/2027, and this will be renewed upon purchase if desired. The folding roof has already been renewed in Germany. Anyone who wishes can use it as a daily driver, on winding country roads, for a weekend outing, or simply every day.
The paint's patina tells the story of almost five decades of automotive history, and anyone who would like it to look smart again can restore it to new glory with a respray.
The purchase includes a number of new and like-new spare and body parts as well as seals, engine parts, workshop manuals, invoices and much more.
Until then, it can do exactly what it was built for: delight people and be driven. A rare French mid-engine sports car with three seats and an exceptional chassis history for all those who do not merely collect classics, but want to experience them with passion.
