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? Bagheera 'Matra-Simca' badges ![[Image: matra-simca-bogheera-classic-french-sports-car-ewd78y.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/23176/matra-simca-bogheera-classic-french-sports-car-ewd78y.jpg) ![[Image: mulhouse-france-november-closeup-matra-simca-sign-yellow-bagheera-car-parked-street-234592805.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/23176/mulhouse-france-november-closeup-matra-simca-sign-yellow-bagheera-car-parked-street-234592805.jpg) M530 LX badge (after Chrysler/Simca acquisition) 'Matra Sports' stays the same ![[Image: images.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/23176/images.jpg) ![[Image: 43528-78-11.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/23176/43528-78-11.jpg) -- Last edit: 2022-08-21 00:55:44 |
