AEC Matador O854 tanker

[Les Freathy]

I agree with Richard on this one David, the tank appears to be original but note the securing locks, on the original there were 5 with metal straps over the top of the tank secured both sides this photo only shows 4 and no straps plus the large filling caps on the top are none original. The more one looks at it the more differences one can see, do you know if it was intended to be a chemical tanker or maybe the first stages of a tar sprayer without the spreader fitted on the rear
