I see the price has gone up on that AEC Matador. Opening bid of £5000 and a buy it now of £10,000.
That's more than this one which sounds like it's a runner

The latter has lost its original cab which has been replaced with bus panels. That's not an insurmountable problem, because there are people making the timber frame components for the original style cabs, so it could be rebuilt. The wood frame means that the original factory cabs always were a bit vulnerable, so the vehicles that were used as recovery trucks by bus garages often ended up looking like buses themselves.

Anyway, I've got loads of other things that need money spent on them at the moment so I mustn't waste time fantasising about restoring an AEC Matador. Not yet, at least.
 
Mornin all.
Spent ages on the pooter and the phone organising wine visits to 3 vignerons plus dins that night out in the Minervois region.
Then vet for vaccines, then hairdresser for W as amazingly she does it much better, and WAY cheaper, than any Brit "Coiffeuse".

Still getting used to the new phone. It seems to be very slow!
Have a good day folks!
:) :) :)
