Description
This Djet was imported from Spain in 2006 and has had a Dutch registration since 2007. The owner has had the car in his collection of Matra, Simca, Peugeot and Talbot automobiles and used it very sparingly. Now he has decided to sell part of his collection. The Djet is in good and nice condition and immediately ready for use. More info at - details above developed and produced by the French car-maker René Bonnet, the Matra Djet was then built by Matra Sports from 1964 until 1968. In fact, René Bonnet was made bankrupt in 1964 by the commercial failure of the Djet. So Matra Sports, which was already the principal partner and shareholder, bought out the little company. The first 4 versions were developed by René Bonnet and then Matra produced the versions 5 and 6. From July 1966 onwards, the Matra-Bonnet Djet 5 and Djet 5 S became the Matra-Sports Jet 5 and Jet 6. The Bonnet name was dropped and the D removed from Djet after the winding up of the Automobiles Bonnet company and the end of its agreements with Matra Sports. The Matra logo was then placed on the bonnet (no pun intended !) and the rear of the car. The final version of the model, the Matra Sports Jet 6, was brought out in 1967. It had the new 105 bhp, 1255 cc engine of the R8 Gordini 1300. Matra Sports would build about 1492 of these cars through 1968, including the D’Jet VS’ replacement, the 105-hp, 200 km/ h Jet 6
