The steel chassis is apparently the weak link of these. It can get very rusty and hidden under the body panels.

The Murena is fully galvanised, so not as likely to rust. The Bagheera on the other hand wasn’t, and rusts like crazy

I think it might have it’s engine out, as it looks a bit high, and I can’t see an exhaust, still very much want though!

i was thinking it sat a lil high ... that would explain the lack of plates too

Nuce, don’t think I have ever seen one of those in the wild, even at old European car shows.

If I had the Matra (my phone thinks I am trying to type "narrative", it's close, right?) and the Volvo I might be able to convince myself that all my automotive wants and desires were being met.  Well for a little while anyway.

God that's cool. I miss an era where you could make that sort of low volume sports car. When people cared
