Auctioneer's Notes:

A wonderfully distinctive example of Matra's innovative three-seat sports coupé, this 1981 Talbot-Matra Murena 2.2 is finished in bright red over a very period grey velour interior.

Its unusual three-abreast seating arrangement remains one of the Murena's most memorable features and gives the cabin a character all of its own.

According to the Vendor, the car was supplied new in Switzerland in 1981, acquired by Mr Norman in 1986 and imported into the UK the following year.

After many years in his ownership and a later period in storage, it was sold by his widow in 2025 before being recommissioned for road use.

It was subsequently driven to the 2026 Le Mans Classic Legend...
