Thanks Dean

I’ve found a couple of other photos of it in NZ, including one where it’s been modified to have a pair of flat screens, the original having been (inevitably) smashed. Apparently, it lasted several years out there.

Must have been on before, can’t say that I’d fancy driving one

Was the driver any more vulnerable in an accident than in other contemporary cabs of the 60s?hi

I shouldn’t think so: I had one for 19 years and it never worried me. In fact, it had been fitted with seatbelts from new, which was pretty rare back then.
