i know... i have not had it long..... but sitting down and looking at what i have to do and the time i have to do it all..... then this really just sits in the way..... shame as i just fancy riding around in a stock height truck... (as that was my plan)

its 1 owner from new, now running a 1500 engine, 16" rims, there is loads of stuff that will go with it... inc. new wood flatbed, seating foam, exhaust, good tyres (cheers pukka )etc.. i have just had the keys sorted.

i think serious enquiry's only... you can come and veiw any time, or i can forward pics onto your email (yet again serious people only please....)

£15,000 ono as is.... may take px something interesting (and on the road) pre 67 vert would be nice..

NOTE... the sign writing and number is NOT mine, its a mates business whom did the work on the running gear for me....

I have a faint probably wrong idea that Jensen built some of these briefly under licence in the 50's.
Best wishes on a sale - seems strong money to me but I'm well out of touch!

here is some info on my tempo matador truck, it is 1955 which makes it later than the split version.... but from 1952 to 1955 tempo made a single screen matador which ran on a 700cc hinkel aircooled engine. these where used after vw stopped supplying them with the 30hp beetle engine, (as vw started producing there own commercial)

these later matadors used the exact same chassis, same gearbox and brakes as the predicessor, just with a different engine. and the cab design was also very simular, just with a single screen, the petrol tank moved to behind the cab seat and the spare wheel replaces where the earlier ones petrol tank went under the bonet space. so i guess that makes this style the "facelift" model!!!

now just to clarify... there a a few people on here that recon that this matador should have a water cooled austin engine..... there wrong!!!! the austin engine came into play in 1956 and was fitted to a more modern looking tempo... (simular to a commer van style!!)

now a bit of research tells me that there where less single screen (or lowlights) made than the split version, and as a result of the hinkel engines not being man enough .... these would have just got scrapped when the engines gave up!! thus leaving even less to be found today...... so whether this style is less or more desirrible than the split version..... it is sertainly rarer!!!! (just my opinion!!)

sorry the passau trailer in the pictures has been sold!!

some more pics from storage




and a picture of it in storage


thanks for taking time to read all the above!!

in my opinion this truck is wasted in storage... and i will not get to it for a couple of years....
