We CB people are into all things that are rare, weird and VW. Have a look at this. I’ve never seen or even heard of one.

Tony,
You are right. CB owners loved the different and unique.
I once owned a Tempo Matador, well at least the cabin and front suspension.Friends still question my sanity after bringing the vehicle down from Inverell many years ago.
There are soe nice Tempos around Australia but not many.

For those who might have interest, there are several ads on Samba for Matador related items.
There are five ads from Oz.
