Nice

My Uncle drove a Matador with the Royal Artillery....in Holland and eventually Northern Germany at the end of the War. Later they drove down the motorway following a despatch rider. Told to pull over behind a parked lorry. Told to get out and get into another lorry and driven away...he then realised he had parked up in a queue and passed hundreds of lorries nose to tail...I suppose left to the civilian parties to use in the rebuilding of Germany !!!!!

London's Burning!

Great Fires of London. Fireman Sam.

A close up look at the apparatus and equipment would be cool

Used them in the RAF 58/60

When I started my Apprenticeship at Arlingtons Bristol, the AEC dealership, our wrecker was a Matador, air over hydraulic brakes, no power steering, crash box, no seat belts, machine gun turret fixing in the roof, and 77 hp I think, pulling 32 ton wagons, I’m still in shock 55 years later.

Freddie.......

That would be about right....not.....hands on the strings of the ladder instead of the rounds and a Sub Officer operating the trailer pump.

cool

There are lots of them about there were over 900 of them they were getting rid of in 2002 ish.. Sounds like the cracking is the the hole in the the exhaust manifold the clicking is all the while not the relay

Are these any good off road? There are loads of vids of them getting bogged down.

Gear stick is in the wrong place! When I drove it it was on the steering column.

Nice to see one with an intact cab, most of the surviving ones seem to be fucked!

The bloke at 2:23 is clearly the Station Officer. :)

What's the story with the tyres

ugly driver's cab

Thanks for this, my Grandfather was in the NFS, was great to see this

There are specific issues with the clutch when going backwards to do with twist in the rear springs causing lurches and jumps. Not helped by your feet bring physically off the floor as oposed to being braced as they are in a car, this tends to result in the jolting. The trick is to get the engine running spot on at tickover then get the size eleven off the pedal and let it run back very slowly at very low engine revs. Thats easy to say, of course when it has not run for a while it's full of damp everywhere and it's running like a sack of shovels - it ain't going to happen! Lovely to see 795 ride out again though.
