anything to do with matra being raced by Tyrell and not a works team?
It has to do with nations
In the French GP 1969, Matra recorded pole position, fastest lap and won a double victory with Stewart in first place and Beltoise in second. Ferrari probably have done the same achivement in their home GP...
Nope again. The thing I am talking about has to do with constructor championships and nations. ONLY these 2 teams have done that.

just by the way, please don't say that they're the only constuctors champions of each country 
They are the only constructors winning the Championship without a chassie built in GB.
Matra didn't win the world championship as a constructor though did they. It was Tyrell built wasn't it? I thought Matra just supplied it.
I'm gonna have a bit of a stab and say that they are the only two teams to have won constructors championships with 2 or more home drivers in the team during the season?
I.e Ferrari with 2 italian drivers in 1964, albeit 1 of the italians only did 1 race and Matra in 1969.
It's very loose that one to be honest but thought I'd give it a go.
EDIT: This is wrong actually cos Vanwall have done same thing so ignore this as have some others in the early days.
Its a tough question this but I would guess it probably is that they are the only constructors champions from their home countries as someone above said.

i hope not, for renault have also won...
Here is your answer
That was a really good question, Manolis. Kept me thinking for days.
Maybe it is now allowed to bring up my earlier question:
Which former F1-driver has an elder brother, who have been codriver to a rally driver, and this driver some years later became Rally World Champion.
Clue: The Rally Champion is a finn, but the F1-driver is not a finn.

his brother co-drove someone who later became wrc champion?
Calum McLure
Did ye, aye?
I think you've made this up Magnus
Was he a co-driver in the world rally champioship or another rally championship?
Was he a co-driver in the world rally champioship or another rally championship?
Yes!
Not sure about the correct names of the rally series, but I give another clue: This codriver is among the most successful codrivers in rally history.I think you've made this up Magnus

i think we may need a new question, i'll be the first to say i give up
Oh, I really thought this would be a good question, but maybe you are not into rally history...i think we may need a new question, i'll be the first to say i give up
I will show you some rare pictures when you provide the right answer.
I make it more easy:
The famous brother was codriving Hannu Mikkola in the early seventies. They won several world rallies together
The F1-driver, the younger brother and the one I am asking about, also started his career as a rally codriver. Both of them competed in the 1967 Safari Rally.
Another clue about this F1-driver: He has sold a Ferrari to swedish pop star Per Gessle.
Is it Torsten Palm?
Correct! He drove two races in 1975.
Some nice photos from Torstens private collection here:
