Fiat(?) truck probably deserves a page - is it a TV broadcast vehicle??

I think it's for repairing overhead wires for trams or trolleybuses.

is this for the larger truck on the left or the smaller truck on the right? The smaller truck on the right is an Opel Blitz.

For the smaller on right. Big on left has own page now.

1965-75 Opel Blitz B indeed. If it's possible with the Swiss system, is there a tool like the DVLA to get more details from the plate?

As Bedford-based Blitz [CF] started in 73, did they overlap for a couple of years??

Here an Opel Blitz B which was first registered in March 1974 (see its data file in the RDW site);
Here a (said to be) December 1972 brochure about the Bedford Blitz, followed by a few others (1973 to 1981 ones);

The vauxpedianet site seems therefore to be wrong when saying that the Bedford Blitz replace directly the Opel model in 1973. I didn't find (for now?) any Opel document showing both of them side by side, but they apparently "lived together" for at least 2 years...

In a next episode, I'll try to understand why Opel gave also the Bedford Blitz name to "heavier" models...

Off-topic: I really like the humbleness of some British ads ;)
