Default Manual

I did have a wartime dated AEC Matador maintenance manual. Printed on the front cover was something like: 'For Australia' or 'Australian delivery'

The AEC factory was in a suburb of London. Bevan F told me: as a kid he used to see the brand new Matadors being driven around with the drivers rugged up in Winter outfits.

Remains of a AEC Matador sat beside the Hume Hwy up towards Holbrook NSW. Used to see this AEC as you turned off the Hume to head towards Wagga , a cab and other bits, this was many years ago.
