Hi
Just wondering what this truck is.
It is in Eric Cantona's 1664 Lager ad, The Alsace-tians.

| There are elements of Unimog about it, but I think they all carried the Mercedes star! |

Unimog....early series, possibly from before MB took over production? {Not this one,Cantona's truck!] |

Some info on Unimog.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimog
It may be that the vehicle in the video pre-dates Mercedes, or.... it could also be down to not wishing to show the Mercedes emblem on the video, something to do with licences and other mind numbing details that keep lawyers in wealth. |

Hi
This advert has escaped from captivity and re-appeared on Channel 5 recently.

YouTube has made any unlisted videos private unless you opted out of that so I guess you didn't opt out.

Hi
Haven't looked at the link again, I just remembered the thread when I saw the ad on TV yesterday.
