zodiac ◊ 2014-11-19 11:37	In a book I've got, the Observers book of Commercial Vehicles, London 1974, a similar HGV is called RR22/32. Although when searching the interweb I don't find anything specially interesting, apart from this one https://www.flickr.com/photos/44572006@N03/4098145777 and this one http://carblueprints.info/blueprints/foden/foden-dump-truck-r22-1973.gif , but I'm not sure if they counts. Here's a similar looking S80 https://www.flickr.com/photos/46315577@N04/4270966971/ .

zodiac ◊ 2014-11-19 12:06	Which means it was originally called S 80 RR 22/32? (or RG 18/32 or RC 22/32 if I read it correctly)
