That is why I wrote Titan. It was called Mazda T 3500. Never Titan, but I suppose the T is an abbreviation for Titan. I believe this is the actual one: http://tow.se/oldcartowmazda/mazda-000-s510033.htm with Swedish number plate MCL 128. Please note the structure behind the cabin is very similar and that the Björes logo is similar to the one in the film. From Transportstyrelsen (the Swedish equivalent of MOT) I find that the current owner is Björdes Bilbärgning in Norrköping. As this is a very rare HGV today, and the film is shot in Norrköping, I'd say it's very unlikely it would be another one. It's (without doubt) a 1986 Mazda T3500. -- Last edit: 2023-04-01 10:44:28
