Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2021-08-05 14:57	Could it be a Blitz cab and bonnet transplanted on to a different chassis?
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-08-05 15:07	It appears to be lhd, but my initial thought was a disguised E83W, but I think it’s too big.

Sunbar ◊ 2021-08-05 16:27	Probably also here earlier in 1982, but I suspect it could be 'made for movie' for a 1970s production set in WWII?

Sunbar ◊ 2021-08-05 19:50	Looking at all the details and comparing them with the truck here and in andrepa's link, all the correct bonnet cab and front end are present and I think it is less likely to be a 'made fror movie' replica. The 'Allo 'Allo truck is in a private collection http://www.historyonwheels.co.uk/ in Windsor.
