The AEC Matador was a heavy 4×4 truck and medium artillery tractor built by the Associated Equipment Company for British and Commonwealth forces during World War II. AEC had already built a 4×2 lorry, also known as the Matador.
The 5.5 inch gun first went into service with the Royal Artillery in North Africa in 1941 and was pulled by the famous four-wheel drive AEC Matador. The gun was handled by a team of ten men and fired on the 82lb shell.
