Tempo Van motor & gearbox on eBay

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.

I think its just due to the fact its a 25hp alloy case.

hehe i was just being sarcastic,
i acutally woulda thought the tranny woulda been the valuable part?
dont they have a ZF diff?
