Thank-you!
That'll do nicely.
I suspected that that might be the case, but there was just a chance that there might be a Scottish 'Vass' licensing ex-military vehicles and flogging them on.

I remember running our recovery vehicles on trade plates.
We also ran our (commercial) test vehicles on trade plates.

Have a look at www.hmvf.co.uk a few matadors there

Billyboy go look here you'll find plenty. http://middx.net/aec/frames/framephotos1.htm

Check out my avatar, thats the one i drove on recovery from 74 until 88 :D:D

Do you know what happened to it

Yes Western SMT im trying to get permission to get into the shed where it is stored. The guy that bought it lost his life in a motoring accident and the family shelved the restoration project. I hope to get some pics and post them soon.

Look forward to them.

I was able to wave at a Matatador on the A55 the other day, as there are still two working in Glan Conwy.

Here's the place for plenty picture's of AEC Matadore's

Also the Matador was the ideal bus recovery tender and many bus companies that ran them went to a lot of trouble
