Hand-made cast resin and etched metal bodies. Made in France.
After the destruction of the MS640 in April 1969, the new Matra MS650 was manufactured in record time to be entered in Le Mans. It is equipped with a long rear hood called a "pedalo" which improves the top speed. There are 4 small air intakes in the front and the air extraction from the radiator has been remodeled. The exhaust pipes are integrated into the rear diffuser to create a venturi effect. Many "Zus" fascners appear on the body shell and headlights. The wheels are 5-spoke wheels with a central nut and the arch conforms to the regulations in force in 1969.
Matra Sport defines its racing colors and the yellow is reserved for the MS650. Since 1968, it is the Blue Seita Orly 915 that covers all Matra. Elf is the main sponsor, the blue Caltex is separated from the logo by the color of the car. The tires are engraved and stamped with Dunlop colors. All these details can be found on the 1:32nd reproduction of this car, driven by Jean-Pierre Beltoise wearing an open helmet with an integral visor.
