Hello from America, I have a Tempo Mikafa!

I am writing this in english as I do not speak or read German, so hopefully you can translate. I have just become the owner of a truly amazing Tempo Matador Mikafa!  I am extremely excited about it...it is so beautiful in my eyes!  It is a 1959 with the Austin A50 engine, completely original with 13,000 miles. It was built for a Hungarian Count and his American wife (descendant of a VERY prominant family). It lived in New York but travelled Europe twice, once in 1959 when new and once again in 1961.  It has been sitting since 1974 and now through some stroke of amazing luck, it is now mine and is on it's way to California!

I can best be reached by email direct at "oldbug at earthlink dot net" (as a new member I can not post an email address?) http://oldbug.com/czigany34.jpg

but I will try to post some info here on the forum to share if I can.

I can not believe my good fortune in getting this camper...I have never been so excited about a new vehicle to play with as I am with this!

Welcome to the Tempo Forum and congratulations on your Mikafa!

Looking Forward to seeing more photos Low mileage and sitting
for 40 years sound very promising!

Always fascinating to see where Tempos show up that nobody was
aware of…

Hello,

congratulation for this nice Tempo. We have also a member in Hamburg with such a Mikafa Matador. I will contact you to him, please send us your email adress.

I have been working very hard on the Tempo and it is turning out to be quite spectacular. I have it running and driving now and have spent months carefully detailing and preserving it. This past June I brought it to its first event and someone took photos there. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-biggest-tempo-matador-ever-made-rv.html?m=1
Since then I have improved upon it massively in detailing, it is looking so nice . I plan to exhibit it at the Palos Verdes Concours in September!

Hello Oldbug,

I will send an email with a Picture from the Hamburg Mikafa owend be Ludwig.

Best Regards Ulli
