This VW is a tidy looking lorry Eddie, I didnt know that VW made products that big.
I assume that VW produced the big lorries perhaps in Argentina, Brazil, or Chile.

Cheers, Ray Smyth.

Afternoon Buzzer! I think the Lecht is a mountain area on the top of the pass between Tomintoul and Strathdon (between Tomintoul and Cockbridge on the A939) in the Eastern Cairngorms in Scotland.

The wagon looks like a Scammell Highwayman. Can’t make out whether it has LHD or not.

Lecht is between Cockbridge and Tomintoul. A road that is one of the first to close just about every winter.
