Today we follow the story of one of Battlefront Malta's past projects - The AEC Matador. The owner of this artillery tractor Mr. Simon Cusens, sheds light on his story of acquiring, restoring and running this vehicle.
This journey also features some of the activities of AEC Matadors in wartime Malta, as well as the distinct camouflage scheme and some of the works carried out by Battlefront Malta volunteers throughout the past year and a half.
We would like to thank Mr. Simon Cusens for his collaboration and Battlefront Malta members for their work and efforts.

Thank you for saving this amazing vehicle and for your help in preserving artefacts from Malta's proudest period in recent history. I am an Englishman but loved everything about living and working in Malta many years ago. I felt very much at home and found many of the older generation in particular more British than the British, particularly in their manners and precise speech, (while also fiercely proud of their independence.) Also the Maltese English accent is as distinctive as Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and South African and is easily my favourite.

Your wonderful Matador is a bit of a globetrotter although it seems getting the vehicle to Malta was a huge effort but well done in achieving this epic!

This restoration is amazing! Did all Matadors have a pale green cab interior or just vehicles in Malta camouflage? I'm a modeller but I'm not too well-versed on paint schemes as I'd like to be.

I think that all British equipment was finished in the standard 'kahki drab' then camouflage colours were applied according to the 'theatre' the equipment would operate in.

Very nice video. Hello from Washington state, U.S.A. I would think that those screens would also be used to prevent hand grenades from being thrown into the bed while the truck was rolling. What do You think?
