Hey there. Does anyone know if there are any old hino He or Zm models still around somewhere suitable for slight restoration or maybe (doubtfully) good enough to leave as is. I’ve been looking for one now for a while and any here in Ireland are wrotten or making big money. I would love to keep one in preservation as they are the first trucks I remember as a kid as they were so plentiful. Any photos/ details would be appreciated. Thanks.
Once living close to the European Distribution Centre of Hino in Mechelen, Mannes of Overijse (Brussels-region)
represented Hino for a long time. Sorry for the Flemish language, but here my contribution regarding pictures
and some technical stuff. Documentation is from 1979 in an era Mannes frequently exhibited on Brussels show

Thanks Alex. I’ve collected some brochures on the Zm and he but the real thing would be great.
Vlaamse tal is goed! Never apologise for the Flemmish language! Robert 
There very rare ireland is probably the best place to get them
I don’t know where more have driven as in Ireland,and were assembled overt there too, West side of Dublin if I remeber it good. Only a hand full were sold on the continent Belgium, France and ■■?
In the '80’s you couldn’t look beside of them, good riders for the Irish roads back then.
Eric,
I could be wrong but were hino’s not made in ireland in those day’s
Hey Ir Lorries, made or assembled can’t remember too long ago.
Eric,
Didn’t Harris Hino assemble them at a plant near Warrington? I think they then moved to a bigger place alongside the A1 just north of Catterick.

J Harris(Assemblers) had a facility near Swords in Co.Dublin where they put together kcd Hino kits imported from Japan.I think this was to get round some embargo or other re: quotas or taxes on Far East imports ?
Hey Sords Swords Meadows nice gone days:( 
, don’t stop at the traffic lights at night only have a look
