For this vehicle the register lists a six-cylinder engine. Kerb weight is 5,056 kg, gross vehicle weight 10,800 kg. The vehicle has four wheels, a wheelbase of 3,850 mm and a width of 2,270 mm.
With a difference of 5,744 kg between kerb weight and gross vehicle weight, a very large payload margin is available, greater than the kerb weight itself. This points to a chassis designed for heavy, varying loads or bodies. In class N2 above 7.5 tonnes gross weight, a category C licence was required. The comparatively short wheelbase of 3,850 mm on four wheels further points to a compact, manoeuvrable chassis despite the high gross weight.
For a used example of this age, check in particular the frame and running gear for corrosion, the clutch and gearbox of the six-cylinder engine, and the operation of the brakes. Given its age, it is also worth checking whether wear parts for the engine and drivetrain are still available at all, and inspecting the brake and fuel lines closely for rust and leaks after decades of use, along with the wiring harness for brittle insulation.
