Now for something completely different!
This is a very rare VW powered truck called a Tempo Matador, built in 1951
by a Hamburg Germany based company by the name of Vidal and Sohn.
These trucks were produced for a short period of time from 1949 through 1951
and used the well tested 25 horse VW powerplant and a ZF non-synchro 4 speed transmission.
But the placement of the drivetrain was in the front, rather than in the rear live the VW transporter
making it a true front wheel drive vehicle.
They were built in a truck and a van format and only about 1300 were produced in total
with roughly less than 10 known to exist today...making it a very rare machine.

Nortons!




A friend of mine will be selling these in the springtime.
They belonged to his Dad who had passed away last year.
Beautiful bikes, they were his Dad's babies!
