Matra Sports Cars - MS 620, 630, 650, 660 & 670 - 1966 to 1974
Matra, synonymous with French revival, with its victories in the Formula 1 world championship in 1969 and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1972 to 1974, still electrifies with a very present past that you will discover in this edition dedicated to fans of the famous "V12 sound".
Amateur photographers since their adolescence, Yves Ronga and Luc Joly frequented the circuits with their cameras from 1969. By sharing their photos in this book, they bring back to life with nostalgia the epic of the French blue brand by mixing photos from yesterday and today with the testimonies of those who made the Matra legend: drivers, engineers and mechanics.
