If anyone have a low loader going down then I'd be very interested in chipping in for an empty back load after drop off. Need to move a truck from Eastbourne to Lincoln.

Thanks.

Hi John,

I've got a Matador to move from Eastbourne up to Lincoln so would be very interested in sharing costs if you have a plan? I'm flexible on dates. Let me know if it's of any interest.

Thanks

Tim

Oops! Sorry, it's an AEC Matador, approx 24' x 7.5'

Hi Gents,

I need to move a truck from Eastbourne to Lincoln and was wondering if anyone had any empty beaver tails returning from the war and peace show that might be able to assist please or know of any firms that do that route? A 26T beavertail or low loader would do the trick.

Thanks

Tim

Does anyone happen to know how heavy the actual coles crane part is on its own please?

Just a reminder for this weekend.

The annual Metheringham airfield visitors centre open weekend is being held on the Sunday 4th/ Monday 5th May 2014. A great event in a historic setting welcomes all military vehicle owners, themed displays and reenactors. Plenty to see and do and BBMF Lancaster fly past confirmed.

Located 8 miles SE of Lincoln (LN4 3BQ) Plenty of camping available.

Please PM for more information.

Hi Ian,

Where in Lincs are you? If you like 6x6 refuellers Pm me, we have one near Lincoln being restored.

Hi Phil,

We are one and the same. So many forums :-(

Just drumming up interest so we can put an order in.

Hi Jordan,

This question has been asked a few times recently and I've been in touch with 3 other Matador owners that need new cabs. I think it may be time to carry out a bulk build if your interested? I've sourced some seasoned ash and have a Chippy that can do the work. If your interested PM me.

I'm just restoring one of these trailers at the moment but the tyres are perished. Could anyone kindly help locate some 1050/13 tyres that would be suitable please?

Hi,

It seems as if there are quite a few of us carrying out Matador restorations. I'm about to start work on my rotten cab too so was just wondering if anyone in the same position would be keen to combine our individual efforts to hopefully reduce costs and make the projects easier by looking towards forming a collective order of new timber cab frames and laser cut panels?

If anyone is interested then please PM me and we can take it from there.

Pm sent Phil, I might be able to offer it a home locally where it would be safe and appreciated.

It's a British Army Royal Engineers M2 Rig that previously belonged to 28 Engineer Regiment.

So does anyone know that the modern paint code of Khaki Green No 3 is?

I served in the Berlin Infantry brigade and i dont think Land rovers where actually painted in urban cam, only armoured vehicles unless anyone has a picture?

Hi all,

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a supplier of Morris C8 engine spares for an on going restoration project?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm in need of an exhaust pipe to finish off a flying flea restoration, can anyone point me in the right direction of any firms that make replacement exhausts for old bikes?

Thanks,

Tim.

What is the internal diameter?? Is it stamped on the rubber parts??

Thanks for all your help, it has been very useful and means that vehicles abroad are not really out of our reach with a bit of homework.

Cheers,

Tim.

Hi Tim,

How did you go about shipping the Jeep??? was it arranged in America or at this end??? Was it worth shopping around for shipping agents??? any you could recommend?

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for the reply, If you could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Tim.

Hi,

Has anyone had any dealings with importing vehicles from America/ Canada???? I've seen some very nice vehicles for sale from overseas and am wondering if anyone has actually brought one??? Is importing cheaper than most people think or is it a non starter???

Cheers,

Tim.

SAVE THE MATADOR!!!!!

Cripp, which paint did you use???? It's a very nice colour and finish..
