Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2020-11-03 19:47	Is it a real Mercedes or something else mocked up to look like one?
dsl ◊ 2020-11-03 20:25	Interesting idea ...... can I smell Commer?? (but I don't have a very good sense of smell ....)
s13a ◊ 2020-11-03 20:32	I thought something was strange about these (wooden?) doors. There is even an outline of a former (or still present) grille here. A british lorry mocked up as Mercedes? AEC maybe?
