Adding this since it appears that there is only one other one in the US listed. |

I didn't know that either. From the other entry ( /vehicle_779638-Magirus-160-A11-FL.html ) : |

From what I can tell, they were introduced in 1978 or 1979. Here's a introduction brochure on e-Bay (listed as 1978; under one of the pictures, the caption reads February 1978). Link to "www.ebay.com" "The three new Magirus trucks we've brought to America - Class 6 and 7 trucks and Class 7 tractor". On the last page, the models listed are 160 A11 FL, 200 A13 FL, and 200 A13 FS. I don't see any mention of these trucks in the US past 1980, so it would appear they were sold for a very short time under the Magirus name in the US (1978 or 79 to 1980?). They probably rebranded/replaced them as Ivecos, which became popular in the 1980s in the US. This is another US brochure, listed as 1979 for the Magirus Diesels: Link to "www.ebay.com" Link to "www.ebay.com" Link to "www.ebay.com" Also found this, which goes into more detail. States that the Magirus trucks went on sale in August 1978. Link to "www.ebay.com" -- Last edit: 2016-01-19 17:35:14 |
