I don't know anything about the Matador. Who manufactured them? The only Matador that I have come across was a monster with at least six wheels. A chap from Tyneside was towing a 3.5 AA gun with it. He told me that it was the largest truck the British Army had. I tried Googling but with no sucess.

Try AEC Matador Art, here's one site:

I don't think the Army used the 6x4 Matador or its prototype with a low profile body.

The most likely monster 6 wheeler would be a Leyland Hippo or an Albion CX22S:
