Matra 650 Courte (Central intake)

This model is a Matra 650 Courte made by Ixo for Altaya (Collection “Champions francais de rallye”, model No. 43) that was modified by me to represent a Matra 650 courte with a central intake. Modifications were, adding front wing, modifying cockpit cover from 2 seats to only driver seat, change protection arch from dual seat to sigle seat, remove the ram air intake, add rear wing and modify the tube structure.
This car, (s/n: 650-01) was modified in 1970 with a short tail and it raced at Brands Hatch 1000km 1970 in Gr.:P3.0 Team: Matra #51 with Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Jack Brabham finishing 12th OA.
Technical spec: V12 engine 2999cc 470hp at 11000rpm Lucas FI 5 speed gearbox.
