antp ◊ 2008-07-21 22:30	Is it really a make? It seems to be some tuned-MAN http://buzzybeeforum.nl/viewtopic.php?f=164&t=4817 (not many info seem to exist except that forum topic...) -- Last edit: 2008-07-21 22:30:40
garco ◊ 2008-07-21 22:35	Yes, I have read that too. RDW uses this make also, but I don't know... There is a shot in the movie with Bickel and Phoenix clearly visible. Front logo is also changed. So I think it's a real make.

These trucks were made since 1989 (this one is post 1994 as it have the headlights of newer MAN F2000) in rather small numbers - between 1989 and 1992 they made only 8 of them). Though the company names is (or was - my source is from the early 90's) "Bickel Tuning" there is a lot of changes, as MAN, in those times didn't have any CBE trucks. Bickels also had their own chassis numbers, so they can be listed under this make. I was curious whether we will have one of these on the site, even if I really don't like it - it's an interesting find.
