chris40 ◊ 2008-11-06 20:10	Yes, I do. That isn't a tarp: it's a bull bar/roo bar. Check this out: http://members.chello.nl/~w.hoogeveen/truck/iveco/iv-neus.jpg
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2008-11-11 15:25	1975 - The Industrial Vehicle Corporation, IVECO, was formed by the Union of Magirus Deutz, Unic, Fiat Trucks,OM and Lancia Special Vehicles. The manufacturers worked together in the fields of Research and Design, and they started to share production facilities. 1980's - IVECO were intending to become a truck manufacturer in their own right. This became very apparent when they started badging vehicles as IVECO Magirus, and the Spire logo was removed from the grille. It was in 1983 that the last Magirus Deutz, left the Ulm production line. The IVECO Turbostar of 1984 was a decisive move which was followed in 1986 by the merger of IVECO and Ford Trucks UK. It is not a heavily publicised fact that the Ulm factory now produces the IVECO Stralis and that some of the current workforce used to build Magirus Deutz. http://www.magirusdeutz.co.uk/MD8history.htm
