Jim Stanley Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 After part owning a matador along with my brother many years ago and since diverting off to the world of steam owning and restoring severel engines including my current engine a sentinel S4 my interest has been re-ignited by a mate who keeps his matador in our big workshop. My old Mat was reg HRR 136 and was sold by my bro back into the "woods" causing a big rift between us both (especially as it was half mine!). I would really love to know where the old girl is now and buy her back if at all possible. Any info would be gratefully received.

antarmike Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi Jim, remeber me from Great Amwell, Knebworth parkand other rallies. Pictures of Hrr posted in Matador Galery, but I have no recent news of her. Mike (Fincher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stanley Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi Mike, We use to have great fun at rallies with our tugs of war etc, brilliant times. I will post some pictures of our antics. Still miss HRR 136, my bro was a s--t to sell her so I am hoping one day I can get her back. Apoparantly she was sold back into the woods down Bristol way so if anyone knows of her please let me know. These old matadors come in handy for rescuing broken down sentinel s types! Be good mate.
