I admit having to look this one up! Tempo made a large variety of small commercial vehicles in Germany and elsewhere, with the Viking Matador (big name for a small vehicle!) being made from 1953 to 1963 according to one source. This one is available from Malmo, Sweden and is available here on eBay with an opening bid of $9,700 and no reserve. I found this brochure on eBay to see what one should look like:

That seems like a lot of money to me for a vehicle that is missing a tire and a driveshaft, but I loved the seller’s honesty in the description when they listed the number of cylinders as “3 or 4”. I’m not sure if that means an engine is not included or if it’s just lost a cylinder?

Anyway, it does give us an excuse to publish this great picture of the front looking like a fish with gills! As far as I can tell, there’s a lot of rust and not a lot to recommend this little vehicle, but I’m sure there’s a Barn Finds reader out there who knows a lot more than I do about this little van with the big name. Please tell us about these in the comments below!
