I think it is a Bedford TK, coupled to a mobile showroom(?)
The opaque windows are due to early morning frost.
Hahn and Kolb are machine tool makers based in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

Thats a very odd looking motor “pyewacket947v” . Dont recall ever seeing one of those before,wheres the reg from ■■

Bedford TK ? I have an awful lot of Bedford stuff and thats not ringing any bells.

It was a long time ago,but, at the back of my mind something is trying to tell me that i saw something that clinched it.
I am wondering if i managed to peek inside the cab and saw Bedford fittings,Instruments,steering wheel,■■
I remember it was parked by a garden centre unattended and still early morning. It may have aroused suspicions if i had been seen taking too much interest,. I cannot help with the reg either, sorry Deanb.

Interesting cab indeed.

I have to ask-why?

Bright idea from someone in a office maybe…something unusual to promote the company…

I think it is a TK under somebodys “improvements”. The windscreen and doors look right as do the hubs. But I still wonder why anybody would pay to modify a cab thus.

Maybe someone over 5’10" who wanted to see out of the windscreen without having to hunch down over the steering wheel

It looks to me like Its a kinda cross between a Volvo & Mercedes Atego, Quite a few of these in central Africa and I think they may be from the far East.

and for robthedog the Russsian tipper is a Chinese Sinotruk Howo, yes a bit Volvo like but the only European connection I read is with MAN.
