Thank you for the Magirus information. From your article, I gather the Magirus quickly lost its potential market share to the Mack Midliner. I only remember seeing a handful of the Magirus cabovers (with the Club of Four cabs), two straight trucks at a local rental center around 1981, and a fire department rescue squad with the same cab and chassis.
I'm trying to get more information on that fire truck and I think an estimated build date on the cab and chassis would help. If the Magirus cabovers entered the North American market around 1980, how many years were they offered over here in the states? Were they still for sale in 1984? Even as late as 1985? Or, perhaps the Club of Four version was marketed under the Iveco name in North America after the initial Magirus launch?

Great photo! I hope this beauty is now in the hands of a collector or museum. And, does its twin still exist?
On the subject of Magirus, do you know what years the Magirus low cabover (the Magirus version of the Mack Midliner) was offered in the U.S.?
