DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

A wide body Triumph Herald Coupe ?

.
It's an Innocenti Coupe - essentially an A/H Sprite with Italian bodywork ...

And a lot nicer for it imho.

I saw one of these today - first time I've seen one for years:





I owned one (briefly) back in the early '80's - in metallic bronze - & think it was probably the worst car I've ever owned …

.

Matra Bagheera? But not sure now!!

Yes, a Matra-Simca Bagheera - the one I had was the later style as shown above & an 'S' version.

Dreadful ...


I think the replacement model - the Murena - was a much-improved car.

Didn't they come out with a Rancho? A 2-wheel drive off-roader! Awfull looking car
Just as well they don't make cars like that any more

A friend of mine bought a Bagheera many years ago. 3 front seats me thinks.
He parked it in the High Street and did some shopping. When he returned
he was ambushed by a top ranking General of the Waffen - SS division of the
Simca Matra Bagheera Owners club.
He was then sternly lectured regarding the use of later than factory issue correct wheels
and informed that he was letting down the classic Simca community and further more
blah blah blah blah.
He didn't have the heart to inform the Simca 'General' that it was just going up for sale.
This was primarily because, after careful consideration, it was clearly and indisputably a heap of *u*!*ng junk !!

On the wall at Retro Refinishers.

Looks like a replica to me ...

I wonder if Clive the Bantry Bandit aka Jaffa would have fitted in that 67 years ago?
