They look like they were both built to the same specification. It is a 4x4, but I guess they just used it for yard shunting. You would want a bit of ballast, to drag that trailer up a Swiss Alp.
Were they all right handed vehicles, seems so from the pictures? Bit strange from a Swiss manufacturer.
Mountain routes? As in Italy with all those heavy duty Fiat wagons and drags of the old days?

Must be that. This one cropped up on Facebook. It says it is a 1965 model.
The cab is unusual- they must have offered a coachbuilt version, alongside their in-house cab, or a chassis cowl. It looks smart enough, to me at least.
Apols. for dragging the heavy thread into lightweight Swiss oddities.

[attachment=2I didn’t realise you liked a bit of “Bling” "pv83"4 so how do these few shots grab you ? Now don’t get over exited and “Blow your Biscuit” PS I thought the last shot of the 4 wheeler may be more your favourite

Nice motors, the last one would blend in rather well with the MAP fleet I reckon!

No worries Anorak, it’s always interesting to get off the beaten track
Lightweight Swiss oddities… that raises the question (going a bit further off-topic…) why they decided to change their max.28t rule, as they absolutely hate HGVs going through their country, going to and from Italy. I’ve recently had the "pleasure " of doing just that and if it were up to me, I would give the Swiss a miss whenever I could!
