Spotted a Talbot Matra Rancho a while back, one of possibly 5 in North America. Still baffled as to why it went to a Hyundai dealer of all places by flatbed.

Either trusted mechanic or it belongs to one of the staff there. That would be my guess, at least.

We’re they ever imported?

It was gone by the end of the day, I work at the Nissan dealer across the street

Oooh, I remember them. Based on a Simca van as I recall.

Simca 1204s were the last Simcas ever officially imported, and nothing with a Matra badge ever had an official distribution channel.

Could also have been an inspection of some kind I suppose. The local FCA dealer is the cheapest out-of-province mechanical inspection place around, or so I’m told. I’m disinclined to go there though, as I’m less interested in “cheap” as I am in “willing to pass something borderline sketchy”.

That’s what I also think. Maybe it went there due to someone’s connections and got inspected

Hyundai dealer owner bought it/owns it perhaps and needs a service/repairs?
