ok so its not a splitty, but it does have a split front screen and is powered by a vw engine. i have just aquired this 1951 tempo matador and am panning on a full restoration. it was rescued from a padock where it had sat under a tree for 41 years! plenty of rust and plenty of missing parts to find!

Well done Dave.

That'll keep you busy for a while. I assume that's the one that was for sale recently, but only to someone who would guarantee to restore it properly.

Way to go.

Richard.
