It's been a few years since I last visited the museum at Le Mans, but I think Cinqster's right about at least one of the Matras being on display there - they had the three cars running on track, plus a fourth car sitting on display in the 'village' area. I remember reading about one or maybe two of them running in the Tour de France (?) historic rally a year to two ago, so they obviously get excercised from time to time! In period they won the 24H in '72, '73 and '74, although it's worth remembering that from 1972 the big Group 5 cars (Porsche 917, Ferrari 512, etc) were ruled out...
Anyway, here's a few more shots...
Front end detail of the Jagermeister 962:
...and the rear end:
Spice SE89 Group C2:
Business end of the Group 44 Jaguar XJR5:
According to the entry list this is a Nissan NPTI90:
I believe this is another Nissan, an R88C. The gearbox and rear suspension was off, the engine out, and a mass of pipework and plumbing left behind:
...and to finish with, this is about as good as I could get of the Matras with so many people around:
I was busy taking shots in the pitlane when they were actually running, but they certainly made a wonderful noise!
Must stop - I won't get any modelling done at this rate.
