Hi Lars,
Very nice car. it is only 4 cars newer than mine so they must have been produced very close in time.
I can see some differencies and maybe Aiemac and Bagheera.be can come up with the answer if both are correct.
On my car the detachable "handbag" is in white skai yours is gold.
On my car the carpet over the engine is gold on your car it is white.
I think I can spot the feature Bagheera.be is talking about but I am not absolutely sure.
Regards,

Stig

The germans have pain in the knee
Because of that, Matra added a kind of pading at the lower edge of the dashboard.

Other than that, I find the white carpet of Lars surprising, as I find your white handbag surprising

I thought you did mean the padding but I was not sure.
You are right about the handbag! When I studied some of the inner folds I can see that it has been painted white.
It is made of gold skai. Quality of the paint job is very good on the bag though.
I am not sure if I dare use acetone on it

lars' courreges is a really nice one and in a quite good estate - amazing to see in real life.

La moquette blanche n'est bien sur pas d'origine, on vos bien que ce n'est pas la meme qu'a l'intérieur. ...
Le gold avait une facheuse tendence a délavé très vite, j'ai retrouvez la couleur d'origine , en démontant la console, en dessous c'était a l'abris du soleil , et les seuls autres morceaux qui avais gardés la couleur,était les 2 petits carrés qui servent d'échantillons qui sont coller dans le coffre arr a de chaque coté du cric.
On arrive a une dizaine de coucou série 1 ...
Romop - celle de Reims - Fgeorges - Lars - La Suèdoise - La mienne - Fabrice - Une sur Paris - Une hollandaise -

Voila , ca fait environ 2% de la prod de serie 1 .!!!

tu te souviens de la courreges que bullitt avait pris en photo a champenois?!:

Lars,
One more question. The center box between the driver and passenger seat on the floor, is this white or gold in your car ?
Aiemac,
Should the inside of the handbag be white ?
Is this photo from the inside of your handbag ?

Oui justement, ce que tu vois c'est le "Gold" qui a délavé au soleil. , la mienne aussi était comme ca quand je l'es acheter.
regarde, la photo est toute pourrie mais on vois bien le cache bagege pratiquement blanc.

Yes , inside bag of Courrèges 75 and 76 are white, in MK2 models (77) color is "Gold" .

And this is my handbag, signed by Mrs Courrèges

Hi Stig,
My handbags are inside white too.
The box is gold.

Lars

A little outside of the subject, but... look at this one on ebay for sale
actually :
http://cgi.ebay.fr/Simca-Matra-Bagheera ... dZViewItem

The owner should write Matra Bagheera Cour-red !!!

Un seul mot d'ordre : DEFOURAILLER !!!!!!!!

Hi,
The carpet was orginal gold. The sun make it white. The orginal carpet of Matra is not sun resistent.
I think the handbag is also paint, because the structur of the white leather from the courrege is another.
Regards,

Lars

Hi Lars,
Thanks for the photo of the box and gear selector. I will check mine again to see if it is painted white. It is white on the inside also so I am not sure.
My handbag has been painted !
It is gold on the outside and white on the inside. I hope I can get the white paint off.

Stig

Hi Stig,
Inside the box of my bag is also white (Polyester i think).
My box ist paint gold.
Regards,

Lars
