Question i had this in my cd a long time ago.

and i desided to build it yesterday it's a matra p29 concept car it came from the paris auto show of 1986 it's i looked it up by researching it on line i don't know who was the origenal designer but it was definitly not me! but it look like fun to build! so i build this one! but i bet it if you were in paris you can see a real one! and i did see a real one in images i have two of them here. the axle were flat so i used a small plastic tube like axle to make the wheels stay strate! and tryed to make them roll but it was hopless so i glue them right in the axles! hoping that it would stay strate! and it did!

Nice work. May I suggest coloring the tire edges with a black marker of some type? That would improve its appearance a lot. The windshield looks great on the next to last pic.

Very nice. It's funny to think how some of today's car designs have a retro look, inspired by notable cars of the past (new T-bird, new Camaro, PT Cruiser, etc). The futurist car designers of 30-40 years ago just needed to tweak the existing cars a bit, and in some cases their vision of cars of the future would be spot on.

It is called the Matra P29, a concept car debuted in 1986.
built by the now defunct manufacturer, Matra.

and yes I do love racing cars, but this was not one, it did have some funky features in the prototype, Radar for weather, a mobile phone setup, and some other items
