The old matadors were and still are a faviourate of the old timber man, for dragging timber out of forrests and loading. I still know of two such still working in south of england.

Until reasonably recently, there was one such at the side of the M6 near Stoke. It was on the left side heading North. It might be a "modern" vehicle now. Like a Bedford 4x4 but not certain. I'll look next time I'm passing.

Until recently there were five Matadors at the Transport Preservation Trust in Beith. One (ex Dallas recovery) recently sold, so now 4 left.

Bit like the scammel recovery trucks that were once used for towing But they were 6x6 as i remember it. whereas the Matadores were i think all 4x4's :confused:

My old mate has a least two - and plenty more around.
