1940 AEC Matador WKX119E seen in 1989 when owned by legendary timberman Mr Ted Petts of Gorhambury, Herts. It's a fairly early Matador being chassis no O853259 shown here with its low loader trailer that normally carried a Drott to his jobs. (Jonathan Pye)

John Harrington writes ... Petts had another Matador O8533405/SLT154F. This was a William Press flatbed that went to Dick Langrish in Arlesford.
