Iran Khodro Industrial Group---so that's where the old Merc LP went to says Biglorryblog.

Thanks to a recent post back from a BLB reader I Iearn that the Iran Khodro Industrial Group (click on here for its website)
offers a variety of trucks in that country based on both new (for example the latest Axor) and old (Benz) models including this wonderful LP 608, which if remember my old Merc badging correctly means it's a six-tonner with an 80hp engine.Now click through here for another bonneted favourite from Merc. (And well done the Iranians for keeping this bit of history going!)

See what I mean--and how would you like a new 1924 4x2 rigid with a tipper on the back? Well who wouldn't? The Iran Khodro Industrial Group either builds/imports all sorts of other things including cars and a Hyundai light truck too.
