Tramp 35S18: a class N1 chassis-and-body build with a 2,998 cm³ four-cylinder diesel, a 4,100 mm wheelbase and a 3,500 kg gross weight
Tramp appears in the register as the registration holder; the model designation 35S18 points to a chassis with a fitted body rather than a vehicle brand in its own right. Such designations are common for converted panel vans, where a fit-out business prepares someone else's base vehicle for a specific purpose and registers it under its own trading name.

The four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 2,998 cm³, notably more than most light vans in this weight class. The 4,100 mm wheelbase and 2,130 mm width point to an elongated body shape. Kerb weight sits at 2,200 kg, leaving around 1,300 kg of payload against the 3,500 kg gross weight.
As a class N1 vehicle, the 35S18 can be driven on a category B licence as long as the gross weight stays under 3.5 t. The large engine displacement relative to a fairly moderate vehicle size points to a body built for high power demand, for instance hauling heavy or bulky goods on public roads.
When buying a used vehicle with such a custom-built body, the mounting of the body to the chassis matters as much as engine condition. A large-displacement diesel with high mileage calls for a check of the turbocharger and oil consumption, and the welds where the cab meets the body should be inspected for cracks and hidden corrosion underneath, especially around the mounting brackets.
