"Though often ignored in favour of more famous 1970s concept cars, the one-off 1971 Matra Laser still has styling
that can grab the attention of a crowd 40 years after its maiden appearance.
Matra was a French manufacturer best known for its production of aeronautics and weaponry – until, that is, it entered its first full Formula 1 season in 1968.
The pinnacle of its motorsport involvement came just a year later, when the Matra-Ford team won the 1969 Constructors’ Championship,
with Jackie Stewart easily taking the corresponding Drivers’ title."

What could have been,at the time coming off the F1 success,the car was a looker and a mid with some performance.
The news media here in Canada gushed over the car at the show.
I still like it,mod.

No real idea on the above, but the styling would appear to be the work of Ghia and the grille has a Rover look to it (at least to my American eyes!).

Ummm, Rover Ghia anyone? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Ha ha! Fun thread...

> lotus 7

That's what I was thinking too, but the rear fenders look too oblong/long. Maybe just not a super accurate drawing.

Defo a 7, but I wouldn't get too hung up on detail on a Carters T shirt print from Sears that's called "race cars"

As this seems to have drawn a blank......I'll offer a clue.

The weapon the founder of this Motor Company invented was for taking down German Zeppelin Airships. It was very simple yet beautifully clever.
It is still used Worldwide today by all countries military and I'd guess that 99% of people have heard of it. (unlike the car)

I thought that most Zeppelins were shot down by Sopwith Camel BiPlanes. I don't think Sopwith made cars

True, there were a few aircraft manufacturers by 1914, but the answer is not reliant upon an airplane. (But I kinda love the idea that the worlds military today would be still be using Sopwith Camels)

Chrysler Turbine Car.

Jay Leno has a version of one.

They were all supposed to have been recovered and crushed by Chrysler after loaning them out to the general public to "test"

It's a/the 'Buckingham'. Like a Panther de Ville gone wrong, and they weren't right to start with. A truly awful device that inspired the question 'why?', and probably gained the record for the fastest depreciation in history.

The connection with WW1 is that Mr Buckingham invented 'tracer' bullets which set fire to airships' hydrogen. At the time it was called 'Buckingham', the 'tracer' name came later, & I remember Biggles used to have to get a letter from his CO whenever he loaded the stuff.

Nowadays his old company seems to be involved with cesspits, which is perhaps appropriate.

It seems another feature of the 'old' thread needs to be re-established, namely only one 'what's this?' at a time, so therefore...........what's this?
