1967 MATRA DJET Serial number : 10723 Fully restored A real race car French registration 24 Hours of Le Mans, Monte-Carlo Rally, 12 Hours of Sebring, the DB of Charles Deutsch and René Bonnet shine during the years 50/60. Then the two collaborators separate and René Bonnet decides to devote himself to the conception of his own cars, in association notably with Renault Gordini. Thus were born the "Missiles", "Le Mans" and the "Djet". The latter, equipped with an engine in a central rear position, finished 17th in the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hours. That same year, Bonnet presents a road version of its Djet, with a Renault Estafette engine-box assembly. The car was fitted with a beam chassis instead of a tubular truss. The first road car to have an engine in a central-rear position (like the racing cars), the Djet was a commercial failure under its designer. The career of this car ends in 1968 with nearly 1,700 units produced. For the anecdote, the French Gendarmerie will use Djet (and Alpine A110) to intercept the offenders at high speed. The presented car dates from 1967. It has been fully restored a few years ago. Period photos show a car whose chassis has been sandblasted, the fiber body has been reworked, brakes, suspensions and mechanical parts have also been redone. Today, the car is in a very good general condition. The almost virgin technical control speaks for itself. A file of invoices accompanies this Djet. The engine comes from a R5 Alpine and the gearbox from a Renault 12 Gordini. The seller indicates that the car has only been driven by him for a demonstration in Montlhéry. Circuit breaker on, ignition on, clutch released, you are already at 5,000 rpm on small roads. The car is agile and its style will attract everyone's attention. *Thanks to the Domaine de la Vieille Ecluse for the location of the pictures 1967 MATRA DJET Serial number : 10723 Fully restored A real race car French registration 24 Hours of Le Mans, Monte-Carlo Rally, 12 Hours of Sebring, the DB of Charles Deutsch and René Bonnet shine there during the years 50/60.
