Classic Mercedes trucks. A bonzer bonneted beaut from AtkiPete on Biglorryblog

1418%20Benz.jpg

I spoil you lot, you know that don't you? Or rather Biglorryblog's man down-under 'AtkiPete' Lynch does, as he's sent me this wonderful shot of an old bonneted LP 1418 Merc tractor and the words "Another old Benz photo for you, they sold lots of these during the 70's out here."

What an absolute gem. I wonder if the 'Brochure King' has any material on these bonneted beauties? I remember going to see the rigid version being assembly in Norfolk Virginia many, many years ago. Over to you Richard? Meanwhile, click through here for an altogether 'tougher' Mercedes!
