surprising things in the Jesada Technik Museum in Nakhonphathom, Thailand


Looks like a coal burning conversion, I've never seen one before, but I have seen a wood burning truck conversion for the cold climates of Russia


I believe the above is a Tempo Matador

I recall posting about the above 2 wheel drive bike before, it is a Rokon, the rims are hollow gas tanks, the Rokon website is http://rokon.com/about/index.htm


Ugly nose, but cool trailer


Not sure if this is a Tempo Matador, but it looks like one that has had the hand made wooden door and bed treatment



looks like one of the cargo planes from the 1950's like they flew in the movie "Air America"
See a couple of galleries of all the bikes, scooters, and cars at the Jesada on the http://6nicestpeople9.blogspot.com/

This is a cool little van thing, I don't remember if I've seen a name for it, but the bottle opener is a cool touch

Thanks to JohnDandy and Asterics for recognizing it as a Tempo Matador! I should have remembered it, but my memory is so bad, you are looking at it, if I need to recall something I look in this blog for it. Ain't that ridiculous?

It's so fun finding unusual and previously unknown stuff on the internet... a 1951 Tempo Matador, VW powered




If this find isn't amazing enough, you might be able to buy it from Oldbug. Asking $110,000
The images are from Oldbug, but visit the link above because there are many more to see, including the restoration process.

This is a very rare Volkswagen powered truck called a Tempo Matador, built in 1951 by a Hamburg Germany based company by the name of Vidal and Sohn.

These trucks were produced for a short period of time from 1949 through 1955 and used the well tested 25 horse Volkswagen powerplant and a ZF non-synchro 4 speed transmission.
