Piston Juice1965, Cars, Coupe, Djet, Matra, Original

Where: leboncoin.fr, Montrouge, France

Any car that is completely original and has been in the same family since new interests us here at PistonJuice. This fabulous Matra is unrestored and come with its original books and documents that show all the repairs it’s had during its life. It is the 24th constructed from 198, so must be near enough unique. Can you put a price on originality like this? £25k would probably buy it.

Price: €38,500 (£27,730)

1966 Matra Djet

WHAT: 1966 Matra Djet

WHERE: leboncoin.fr, Marigny-Brizay, France

Very rare French sports car in the best colour with fantastic period wheels. Restored in 1998 but still looking good, this example has a Renault 5 Alpine engine and 5 speed trans from a Renault 18 Turbo and Renault 16 brakes for better performance.

27,000€ (£21,000) is quite high but it does make an Alpine A110 look expensive.
