Matra Bonnet Djet V 1965

The Matra Bonnet Djet V is a sports car produced by Matra between 1965 and 1967. It was the successor to the René Bonnet Djet, which was acquired by Matra in 1964 and then evolved into the Matra Bonnet Djet V. The Matra Bonnet Djet V had a mid-engine layout and was powered by a 1.3-liter Renault Gordini four-cylinder engine, which produced 110 hp and was connected to a five-speed manual transmission. The car had an aerodynamic body made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic and had a top speed of about 210 km/h. The Matra Bonnet Djet V was an innovative sports car for its time and was praised for its striking design, performance and handling. The car was also successful in racing, winning several races in Europe and North America. Today, the Matra Bonnet Djet V is a sought-after collector's item among car enthusiasts because of its rarity and unique history as a collaboration between the French car manufacturers Matra and Bonnet. Only 1,495 of them were produced. The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us.
