70s French “adventure wagon” - Rancho - was Matra’s groundbreaking idea for all purpose vehicle.

What was this unusual car from Matra? Was Matra Rancho a French attempt to compete with Range Rover or show the Brits they went wrong way with the concept of sensible and simple off road vehicle? Did it actually start an SUV trend or was it way ahead of time to be able to do that? And most importantly - is Rancho (Ranch) really cool youngtimer to own now or an oddball you should pass on? All of this and more I’m trying to find out and show in this film! #automobile #matra #rancho #suv #crossover #car #girl #leisure #drive #offroad #rangerover #landrover #chrysler #talbot #automobile #youngtimer #driving #vintagecars #carshow #garagetalk #garage #classiccars #classiccarhunting #carhunt #restoration
