1982 Matra Murena 1.6 – Project Car | Long-Term Single Owner | Ready to Drive | €5,000
This 1982 Matra Murena 1.6 is a genuine and honest project car – one that presents a rare opportunity for the enthusiast who wants to put their own stamp on an iconic French classic. Mechanically sound, freshly MOT’d, and ready to drive, this Murena is waiting for someone with the vision and the hands to bring it back to its former glory cosmetically. The hard work of keeping it running has already been done. What remains is the rewarding part.
A Long and Loyal Ownership History
This Murena 1.6 has been in the same private ownership since 1994 – nearly thirty years with one dedicated enthusiast who clearly understood what he had. The car was maintained mechanically throughout that period, with invoices present to support the work carried out. Sadly, the owner passed away before he was able to realise his plans for the cosmetic restoration he had always intended. That work now awaits its next owner.
Mechanically Ready – MOT Passed and Road Legal
The car is fully road legal with a fresh MOT. Multiple new parts have been fitted as part of the most recent MOT preparation, and the invoices for this work are available. The engine runs well and the car drives as it should. Both electric windows have been made fully operational. This is not a car that needs to be trailered home – you can drive it away and enjoy it from day one while you plan and execute the cosmetic work at your own pace.
Extras – Polyester Rear Hatch and Rear Spoiler
This Murena comes with a polyester rear hatch and rear spoiler already fitted – desirable additions that many Murena enthusiasts actively seek out and that will form a strong visual foundation once the bodywork is addressed.
The Cosmetic Opportunity
The paintwork and interior both require significant attention – as is clearly visible in the photos. The current state is honest and accurately represented. This is a project, and it is priced accordingly. For the right buyer – someone with the skills, the time, and the passion – this is exactly the kind of car that rewards investment and effort. The structure is there, the mechanicals are sorted, and the platform is solid. What it needs is someone to finish the job that was always planned.
