Hey There, I too am in the market for an AEC Matador and have been for some time.....Is the "RN" one still for sale from the Shopland collection web site, as I've try'd to contact them but to no gain.......

I am pretty sure the shoplands still has one or two for sale,  I will see if I can get them to reply 

I was thinking the price was a bit steep, even though it is likely to be very rare and sn exotic make. Maybe they put one too many zeros on it ?

he retracted the for sale add and is keeping it.

But you are venturing down a very expensive path, and if you seriously want to proceed, you might want to visit Europe and the militracks event in Overloon a lot of the big collectors are there 

A couple of years ago they brought the Tiger 2 for the show

Found this on Facebook and thought it might be of interest, I posted it as a picture so everyone had a chance to see it 

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the purpose? As a corrosion inhibitor?

How hot do you get them ? And isn’t there a risk of making them brittle with that process 

HI Chris, have you had a chance to look at the mortar tube ?

I think the Shopland collection still has a couple of Matadors for sale

For us, that do not have the nerves to take on a full scale ww1 truck, a solution has presented it self.

Hi Chris 

Could I get you to measure it and take some pictures of the end attachment?

Thanks I will have a look 

Hi

I am looking for the dimensions of the tube/barrel of a war time US m2 60mm mortar. I have the bipod and baseplate and would like to recreate a barrel for it. 

I am looking for the outside diameter of the tube, length and details on how the end and attachment ball look. 

Cheers 

This early cab 11 Chevrolet was previously for sale, on eBay as well, in the same condition back in July.

Before that it was for sale some years ago in unrestored condition.

The body is a newly made one, based on the original 7A1 which then was sold on separately.

this appears to have the right age, but I do not know if they where úsed. 

Any news on the Guy ? 

Hi any updates on the Scammell? 

An update on the project, I decided to pass on the gauntlet.
I only made very little progress with the Bedford the last two years, and I have in the meantime gotten a daughter and house to look after as well, I would therefor not get it done within a foreseeable future. So when a good new home for it presented it self I  decided to let it go. 
A thanks to all who commented and help, but specially Guy, Richard and Ian. 

I Think the Shopland’s have poor condition tractor unit, of the curved roof shed style cab type
