Smu B-Style: light lorry in EU class N2 with a four-cylinder engine, a gross vehicle weight of 4,200 kg, a kerb weight of 3,970 kg, a wheelbase of 4,950 mm and four wheels, built in 1998
The register holds no other series from the manufacturer Smu, so this text describes the vehicle class the B-Style of 1998 represents: a light chassis with a four-cylinder engine, just above the 3.5 t line that separates it from the van class.

The B-Style is driven by a four-cylinder engine and stands on four wheels, with a wheelbase of 4,950 mm and a width of 2,220 mm. The vehicle weighs 3,970 kg empty, with a gross vehicle weight of 4,200 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 4,200 kg the B-Style falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t, just above the limit up to which a category B licence still applies in Europe. Only 230 kg separate kerb weight from gross weight: a margin this small is unusually tight for a lorry carrying variable loads and points to a permanently mounted body whose own weight already accounts for most of the gross vehicle weight.
Buying such a light chassis with a fixed body second-hand starts with checking whether the registration still matches the body's actual total weight, since later conversions quickly eat into the payload margin. The four-cylinder engine calls for a check of engine mounts and cooling system, the chassis at this wheelbase for a check of the axle mounts, and given the 1998 build year, frame and floor corrosion under the body deserve a look as well.
