There are about two or three cranes like the one in the photograph above, and I i'll manage to photograph them I'll put a couple of pictures of them over here.

Even Coles were renowned for producing cranes with headlamps in the bumper. Hydrocons were usually famous for experimenting with new designs and having the headlamps incorporated into the cabin-front itself. Moreover Hydrocons had fibre-glass cabins and this made it easier to experiment with shapes. Have you got any Hydrocon crane pics?
