Henk and MAtra in here please.

The Dart was the (stillborn) brainchild of Sydney car salesman Bill Buckle, who conceived the bathtub-style fibreglass body to reclothe the underpinnings of a German ‘50s’ micro-car(why?, was it worse!) . The Dart laid claim to being Australia’s first sports car( how dare you! ) . Time has now transformed the Dart to a (oc) cult car and a collectors' item ( for those who like to collect human heads and the like) , particularly as very few of the 700 vehicles produced are still in existence(exterminate) .

The featured example was auctioned at the annual Shannons Sydney Summer Auction in February 2004 (c'mon, how much?) . As with all Darts, the excellent yellow example being auctioned by Shannons is powered by a twin-cylinder, 269 CC engine developing 15HP at 5,000rpm, giving it adequate ( lucky then! ) performance to propel it.

All of 11kw. My cordless drill is more powerful . C'mon Henk, Matra, give it to me. One redeeming feature.
