For this vehicle the register lists a six-cylinder engine. Kerb weight is 8,226 kg, gross vehicle weight 8,901 kg. The vehicle has six wheels, a wheelbase of 5,000 mm and a width of 2,500 mm.
With a difference of only 675 kg between kerb weight and gross vehicle weight, very little payload margin remains, pointing to a permanently fitted body that is already heavy in itself, such as a closed box or fixed equipment. In class N2 above 7.5 tonnes gross weight, a category C licence was required. The width of 2,500 mm sits at the upper end of what is usual for ordinary commercial vehicles.
For a used example of this age, check in particular the frame and all axles for corrosion and wear, the clutch and gearbox of the six-cylinder engine, and the operation of the brakes. Given the small payload margin, it is also worth checking the actual load carried, and given its age, the availability of spare parts for the engine and drivetrain, as well as the wiring and lighting, which were often upgraded on vehicles this old.
