Haven't Seen One Of These For Ages. Part 3

(1/3) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I was browsing a copy of Classic & Vintage Commercial from a couple of months ago & in it was pictured a truck that used to be an everyday sighting for me, as they were used when houses were built on a very large market gardening farm near where I used to live.
As I read, it occurred to me that I haven't seen one for (probably) well over 25years
Even searching for an appropriately aged picture took some doing.

Has anyone seen one about recently?
If they have can I have a piccy please? :D

It reminds me a bit of the Mercedes 1924 and 1928s you see everywhere in the Middle East - equally rugged looking but a bit more curvy.

Why can't I find out much about these trucks on the Internet, given they are absolutely everywhere?

thermidorthelobster:
By the way Richard, you should get chatting to Nick Kay, the guy who sold me my 101.  He's into MAN 8x8s and has three ex-Nato cruise missile launchers.

PS:  Doesn't that look as if it would be fun to drive!

Bush Tucker Man:
Oh for a bigger garden, & an understanding wife :D

I've seen a MAN 8x8 at a show, they're nice.

Almost as nice as the Zil 135

True, you don't see the Mercedes anywhere either
