Well this is the last lot for you to tear your hair out over. Although I notice some of you have altready got off to a flying start with the more obscure ones. I'll see how 'The Brochure King' and the 'Keeper of the Flame' do too. Interesting how many old Henschels there were on show--obviously a very popular marque in its time...but I digress. So it's eyes-down for the final round of Classic German (with the odd Swede chucked in too) trucks on Biglorryblog. And forget the pies--it's for a bratwurst! (or even a currywurst if you're Clutchslip) And remember, I want make, model, age and anything else you can tell me....starting with the one above.

Huh dead easy BLB...aren't you going to make it difficult?

IAA vintage stuff 043.jpg 

One of a handful of Swedes in  the Classic and Vintage display--but what exactly is it? That nose looks far too short to me...?

This splendid angular cabover was one of many Henschels on show...but what year and model?

And another one--short bonneted fuel tanker artic combination. Did Henschel make their own engines or what? More information BLB anorak army please... 

IAA vintage stuff 039.jpg 

Classic Swede, built like a brick-out-house (and looks like one too) Scania. What engine was in  it?

Brace of venerable Moggies---but how old are these two rag tops? Tom C---any ideas?

Classic cabover Kraut... with trademark pro-German haulage industry bumper sticker "Fern, Schnell Gut." I couldn't put it better myself...now click through here for more.

One for 'Two-Stroke'...it's a big normal control Volvo for sure---but what was it called, and when did it first appear?

IAA vintage stuff 053.jpg 

A real bonneted 'star' so what kept it running under the hood?

IAA vintage stuff 048.jpg 

And last but not least...a rather nice fire engine.. So how did you all do on this and the previous quizzes? Anyone get them all right? Who's got the most sausages--send BLB your scores on the doors. And just to tease you amongst them all are two IFAs
