On the second thumb it says 1113, and the body shape is [L 59]. Concerning the letters preceding the 1113, my suggestion is: L = Lastkraftwagen (ENG: HGV or Truck) F = für Feuerwehrfahrzuge (ENG: for Fire Engines) Sometimes there is a A = mit Allradantrieb (with Four Wheel Drive) between the L and the F, but I dont think the front wheels look tough enough for that. Hence I believe this is a Mercedes-Benz LF 1113 [L 59]. |

@zodiac, the 'A' can also be determined by the taller front end, with a different grille and lower headlamps https://www.trucksplanet.com/photo/mercedes/l_middle/l_middle_11040.jpg |

@tore-40: After some research I believe I've come to a conclusion, but I'm open to suggestions. The "Kurzhauber" (ENG: short bonnet) was in production from 1959 until 1995, and were made in the region of 900.000, which is quite astounding for a HGV. Around 600.000 were made in Germany and some 300.000 more in South America. All of this means that there were plenty of production changes during the run and also depending on market. But having that said, I believe https://www.werkeline.de/mercedes-kurzhauber-laf-1113-informationen that most two wheel drive versions (that is LF when concerning fire engines) had the head lights within the radiator grille circle while most, if not all, four wheel drive versions (that is LAF when concerning fire engines) had the head lights further downwards. I believe that the LAF head lights placement was because of legislation as it would have been too far from the ground when having FWD, and thus was placed in a lower position. Apparently those lights were the same as some VW's. I still believe the above one is a LA 1113. -- Last edit: 2019-01-24 14:02:12 |
