I've just returned from the Elmia truck show in Sweden, where I spotted this rather unusual truck. Of course I took plenty of photos from the front, but thought I'd see if anyone could correctly identify it from this angle first. And for a bonus pie, what year do you reckon it was made? Good luck!

Hmmmmm, it does rather look like a Motor Panels cab, with the centre window and the two corner ones. Perhaps the glazed one on the right suggests a LHD lorry?
Turbo piping etc..... hmmmm.... an FTF, perhaps?

Ok, another stab at it...... how about an SP-cabbed ERF, with the high roof sleeper? But you did say it was rather unusual though.....

Not sure what this is, but I'll tell you what it reminds me of at a quick glance. The old 1970's S&D bucket lorries with the 'Globetrotter' type crew cab.
I'll dig an S&D photo out later and send it on, or perhaps The Brochure King has the full spec pamphlet on them and their 'Pakamatic' tipping refuse bodies.

I indeed do have the brochure on the old S&D bin waggons John, but this motor isn't in it!!
This truck is a Saurer D330. Built in 1980.
