    Never seen one in the flesh. Check out the front seats!

    Nearly bought a Bagheera (the older model)- normally pretty cheap if you can find one.

    The Bagheeras suffered from rusty chassis the Murena had a galvanised one, both cars had plastic body panels.

    Ahhhh, the plastic explains the body condition. I remember seeing the Bagheera but not this one. Looks quite unusual, would certainly get a good crowd around it at a show.

    This was the replacement for the Bagheera, another 3 seater car, not unlike my Excel in profile

    The French do like odd ball sports cars, the Renault Alpine range and the MVS Venturi with both very creditible efforts in the 1980’s/90’s

    looks like it’d be a bit of a squash in the front!

    Yeah, I love where the gearchange was placed in the first shot. Obviously the gearbox department didn’t talk to the seating department. Just make sure if you take your wife’s sister home never to let her sit in the middle seat  ;D
