	Speaking of Bagheera's, just watched the Top Gear where they ruined one, did anything happen to it after that? I know a few cars have ended up sold afterwards, shame it got wrecked the way it did.

	My Brother Kev (owner of the orange car above) is the Bagheera advisor for the UK MATRA club. Top Gear approached him when they were planning The Bagheera one, for advice on what to look out for and a spares package for a Bagheera they were taking on an 'adventure'. He supplied them with both once they'd located a car and they obviously ignored advice on the dodgy clutch hydraulics watching Paddy trying to select a gear. Also they bought one with a RHD conversion which are known to cock up the controls. We were invited to Dunsfold airfield to the studio for the recording of one of that series. When we saw the Bagheera being wrecked in the jungle, it was not good to watch. The car apparently went to the Beaulieu museum as part of the Top Gear display painted very crudely in the 'Gay pride' colour scheme from the end of the programme. Only bonus about the Top Gear Car is that it was one known to be a bit of a 'heap' anyway. from people in the SIMCA and MATRA clubs who'd come across it. First photo ... Kev's two Bagheeras on the road... the orange '75 series 1S and his, last of the line before the Murena '80 Series 2. other photo, Kev in his garage with his SIMCA 1000 project next to his third Bagheera, a really early '73 model Series 1.

	Regarding the colour, Kev sprayed it himself and has offered to do my SIMCA 1200S Bertone coupe. I don't think the original Burgundy colour is for me so we're considering the same shade of orange as the Bagheera. Here's the coupe in its current red oxide primer 'look' Kev's also got the only other one of the 6 RH drive 1200S coupes sold currently on the road in the UK. Here it is with his two Bagheeras, the model which replaced the 1200S as the sports coupe in the SIMCA range.
