An Interested Spectator Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Have plans to "do up" one of these soon. They are described as Deutz trucks. This is a new one on me. Did Deutz supply trucks in the UK. Or is there another truck make close to this model. Basically I am trying to identify the nearest "real truck" to this model to get my detailing as near as I can.

DAF Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Magirus Deutz became Iveco. There was a cab shared between volvo, daf, renault and the maggie. It does look a bit like the bedford tl but the side windows are wrong. My guess is it is either an old ford or iveco style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yeah, Magirus Deutz were available in the UK, Warner Hall covered the development of the lorries (and the missed opportunities) in Model Tractor magazine earlier this year.

dalethecaptain Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Magirus Deutz have quite a cult following, the air cooled engines are incredibly reliable and had loads of power for the size of truck. Have a look at this site: http://www.magirusdeutz.co.uk/MD8worldmaggies.htm There is quite a bit of info on that site that should help you with the detailing, and the company history is quite interesting.
