'Yoo hoo BLB - a little something for you!' says my blogging co-evil Ollie Dixon, he of World Truck Blog on www.roadtransport.com  He goes on to says; " Attached is a pic of a Hungarian border police Raba, which appears to be closely related to that Volkswagen from yesteryear, which also by the way ended up with a Kenworth badge on the front. [Called , if I recall, the Ranger'] Today, VW gets Scania, which is, in turn, supplied with axle components by Raba. Thereby suggesting that it's a small world....."

And check out Ollie's verdict on the great VW/Scania story on his blog.

Nice One. I think I sent some pictures of the VW-cabbed Raba in to the blog a while back when the Brazillian VW medium heavyweights with the same cab were featured. Those pictures were just black and white though.

The cab has had a long and full life for a unit that appears to have a somewhat limited potential.It's appeared on VW, MAN, Raba, Kenworth (called the K300) and Peterbilt ("Midranger") chassis, and I think Pegaso also briefly built a vehicle with the cab too.
