Two Tempo Matador wrecks salvaged in Australia - Now Removed

Two Austin-engined Matador wrecks are available for salvage in Queensland, Australia. Both vehicles are in very poor condition but some mechanical components may be salvageable. These vehicles need to be picked up before the end of July 2024, otherwise they will be scrapped.






Thanks to everyone who contacted me about these vehicles. What could be saved, has been now.

1952 Tempo Matador - Australia

It's surprising to see the Tempo Hanseat is advertised in this Australian flyer. These slow moving vehicles were entirely unsuited to Australian road and traffic conditions. It's also noteworthy that Tempo Matador is mistakenly identified with war-time Volkswagen Kubelwagen, but then it would be another two years before the Volkswagen Beetle made its appearance on these shores.
