Pete,
The origins of the AEC Matador lie with its connections with the company that built FWD trucks during WW1. In the late 1920's they were using AEC parts for the trucks and eventually became linked. The AEC / FWD R6T I mentioned was a 6x6 and if you look in Bart's prewar directory you will see the rather unique wheel hubs look the same. Hardy submitted a 4x4 for the WD trials and I am quessing this may be it. As you ask, did the WO take it up, well, I suppose they did in a later form as the Matador and what a successful vehicle it was, earning its keep right through to the 70's at least.
