In the mid-seventies, hardly any car in its price range offered more overtaking prestige. The Matra-Simca Bagheera looked almost like a Maserati, offered space for three people and had the budget and maintenance-friendly technology of the Simca 1100 on board. It wasn't expensive either, and success was almost guaranteed. However, there were also problems, such as the "Silver Lemon", which the car was awarded by the ADAC due to its unreliability. Today, well-preserved Bagheera are rare, making a test drive with the 1.3-liter flounder all the more exciting. This vehicle report tells the story of the Bagheera, which was produced for over seven years, and shows it in current and historical pictures.
