Certainly a neat job and a spacious cab, why not have ordered a normal sleeper cab with a high roof?

The need for four doors? Tool lockers on the side are another indication that its human cargo numbered more than one driver. My best guess is that it is a mobile workshop, maybe for a motor racing team.

The very low cargo bodywork indeed looks like a workshop or possibly a horse van. I just had focused on the roof bunk.

Magnum and some

What have they grafted on the top of that ?
Looks like the back of a pick up

I did zoom in on the reg plate to see if it was Dutch, because my first thoughts made me think it was Greek

All that work, just to raise the rear of the cab roof. None of them had the brains to raise the whole thing, and gain double the extra volume.

^^ Looks like he has a little kitchen in there :smiley:

That’s more like it. It looks quite professional- maybe it is made from a kit that you could buy, in the day.

i think if i’d had that on top of my 170/26 fiat it would have stopped dead in a head wind, lts an 80/81 motor , hatcher had roof top sleeper kits at that time ,we nearly put one on one of our Fords

The Dutch company, Estepe used to provide high roofs for Fiat/Iveco. Their big one was, IIRC, called Europalace. There were all sorts of variants as the pictures below testify. None of them are my own pics BTW.

Good work, Ro.

Are they all Esteppe? Some of them have different windows, and some of them have different shapes where they attach to the rust.
