But do you know what won ITOTY  in, say, 1998? Or for that matter right from the very start in  1977? Well then what better way to find out than by visiting the International Truck of the Year 'winners' http://www.truck-of-the-year.com/winners.html weblink where all will be revealed. Leyland T45...? Seddon Atkinson 200 Series? Yes they really were winners.. but in what year?
