Tempo Matador Resto

G'day everyone,
This is my first post on here. I have been restoring a one ton truck called a Tempo Matador, its a front wheel drive volkswagon powered german built jigger....
I'm having a bit of trouble posting pics, so hope this works.

These where built by Tempo Matador in 1949 to 1951, there where less than 1400 produced with the volkswagon engine until VW built there own transporter and then Tempo Matador factory had to find other running gear. It was then Austin powered.
I hope to put some more pics up if i can get this sorted.

Cheers
Lewy

Don't think last pic worked so i'll try again....

This is one my Grandfather had.

My Grandfather had one for his glass & aluminium bussiness, I will try and find a photo of it.
He used to rave on about how good it was. (lol)
