Reply to "First mid-engine road car in History was the René-Bonnet Djet"

The René Bonnet Djet had a remarkable racing career : class winnner at 1000 Km of Nürburgring 1962, then at Le Mans in 1963, several participations at Sebring (Howard Hanna), and René-Bonnet also built Formula 2 cars.
Matra actually bought René-Bonnet after it failed, and changed the name to Matra-Bonnet, then Matra Sports, and also changed "Djet" to "Jet", with the new versions Jet 5, Jet 5S and Jet 6. The Jet 5S and 6 had Gordini engines. here is a picture.
