whiskeyonesix Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Excellent pics there! I think that Matador has got an Aussie-Army Land-Rover bull bar on it. Someone might know more but I think all the old army tat was simply sold off locally cheaply to whoever wanted it at the time... That unknown one.... Morris 8?
