	I'm sure you used to be able to buy a GRP kit that looked very similar to this, can't remember the name of the maker but it was the same lot that made the 'Rat' beach buggy. Fibre-Fab perhaps?

Fibre-Fab perhaps? Think it was called the 'Shogun' kit, I'm pretty sure it was made by Fibre-fab. If anyone's got some early 80's Street Machine magazines I'm sure the ad was in there every month.

	There was another van - think it used Mk2 Scrote rear lights? Remember seeing it way back in the past in a magazine - a metallic red one with Baja-style suspension. Thought it was gorgeous!

	and the later Tempos had an Austin engine, then the factory got sold to Hanomag, which had a new body fitted on their van, still using Austin engines... then Daimler Benz bought the Hanomag truck factory , the Hanomag got a star at the front.... the frame then was used up to the MB 100......

Quite right, saw some pics on the genaeology of these trucks. Thew early Merc vans have a lot of Hanmag DNA in them.

	Here is a pic of a later tempo Matador. Not as cool as the early ones, but still cool!. Doesn't these have the engine behind the gearbox at the front?

	Aye, sort of front drive mid engined layout. Regarding those Wizard Beetle vans, I like them as well, came very close to ordering a kit years ago. The windowed version was as Brian says a Shogun, think that was from UVA.

	Just found this thread from 2 years ago or thereabouts. Reminded me of the awesome Tempo at Volksworld and other shows.
