Talbot-Matra Rancho (7149) - a photo on Flickriver

            Manufacturer: Mécanique, Aviation et Traction (MATRA), Romorantin - France
Type: Rancho
Engine: 1442cc straight-4
Power: 80 bhp / 5.600 rpm
Speed: 145 km/h
Production time: 1977 - 1984
Production outlet: 56,457
Curb weight: 1130 kg

Special:
- It was the first non-sports car model MATRA, sold as MATRA-Simca Rancho (1977-1979) and Talbot-Matra Rancho (1980-1984) and introduced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show.
- It was designed by Antonis Volanis (MATRA-planning office) and based on the SIMCA 1100 VF2 Fourgonette Pick-Up.
- The body work was made of fibreglass and polyester.
- MATRA originally planned a production of 25 000 units, but it became a big "hit", this conspicuous leisure car.
- It looks like an offroad / 4x4 SUV (was too expensive) with a high ground clearance, but in fact it's a underpowered front wheel drive only vehicle, not suitable for rugged terrains.
- In time, the intention was to replace the underpowered engine with a more advanced 1600cc engine but those plans were never implemented.
- The Rancho has a four-speed manual gearbox, a Weber carburettor and a 60 liters fuel tank.
- It has independent suspension with independent torsion bars at the front, independent suspension with torsion bars and anti-roll bar at the back and hydraulic servo-brakes: front disc brakes, rear drum brakes.
- The colour range was: Beige Griffon, Beige Ispahan, Blanc Névé, Bleu es Palmador, Rouge Commanche, Silver métal and Vert Scott, like this one.
- Electronic tachometer, Voltage meter, rear fog light, metallic paint, alloy wheels, air-conditioning, bunk bed, color windows, tow bar, headlight washers, radio and pre-radio speakers in the doors were options (all items sometimes standard in some export countries).
- The noise level above 90 km/h and the corrosion susceptibility are known shortcomings of this vehicle.
- Apart from the basic Rancho (1977-1984), there was the Midnight (1981-982), the Jeanneau (1980), the Courrèges (1981), the Loisirs (1980), the Grand Raid (1979-1981 with "off-road" extras), the Rancho X (1979-1984 upscale model), the Rancho AS (1979-1984 no rear seat) and the Découvrable (1980-1981 rear cabin consisted of an open frame with roll-down fabric covers).
