When the make's name shifted from Matra to Matra Simca ? |

If current listings are to be believed, 1970? But there are both 1970+ Matra and 1970+ Matra Simca so something needs to be done... |

I have no idea, I just listed them like the others already on here, perhaps they can be merged |

From what I understand and after a little research I come to the conclusion that even if in 1970 the company name became Matra-Simca (after the merger with Chrysler Europe) the car never carried any Simca scripts/badges. This only happened for 1973 successor Bagheera, which carries 'Matra Simca' badging on c-pillar for one. So I think the 14 Matra Simca M530 should be grouped with the 48 Matra M530 all simply as "Matra". Until there's pics of a Simca script/badge that proves otherwise?
