The planet names came into use only around 1955 when this version was superseded by the S 7500 Jupiter. There are not so many round-nosed Magirus in preservation apart from fire engines, and the roof mounted lights, the canvas and the colour make it unique.

By driving through the night, you could wake up whole villages - just by using the engine-brake (with the anti-pressure in the exhaust). I grew up close to the town of Hannover. Every 1st of May annother great sound had woke me up: /vehicle_129187-Lanz-Bulldog.html At that day was(is?) an oldtimer- and tractor-meeting at the former Hanomag-factory. The Lanz-guys from the next villages always have passed our house. -- Last edit: 2007-10-17 19:55:16
