Yes, the Renault Espace is very interesting for a van. Was a Franco/Anglo design for Talbot/Simca by MATRAS - Peugeot didn't want it; and Renault selected it for production.

Anyway, yes all the experimental MATRA engines were there. The flat 12 and the V-6 twin turbos were really news to me!!!

Odd that the Renault Espace F1 van would end up in a Matra museum...

Yes, all nice photos! Thanks for that. Interesting how that glass-top table caught your eye (it caught mine too). And I'd never seen a flat 12 Matra engine either.

Cheers, Chris
