OMG, that Tempo Matador is fantastic! It's so cool too, that it hasn't been restored, nice to see it with all that rus..., erm, patina! There're quite a few 50's transporter / van fans over here. Tempo, Goliath, Lloyd, DKW ...

Tempo also did a 3-wheeler, looked like this:

I would have loved to be in the design meeting for that one!

Yeah, we're going to have the cab wedge shaped.
But how will the driver see behind then?
Oh, i dont know. We could just put tiny mirrors on two foot long poles either side.
Great! Build it!

3 wheeled Tempo sure looks odd thing and I'm not entirely convinced that it is in good way odd :shock:

But they are nice little spice to normal masses of produced cars, so can't be a hater really :D
