Description:
Leonhard Weiss – founded in 1900 already – is a construction company that dynamically traversed the roads of the Federal Republic during the years of Germany’s Economic Miracle and that relied on the dependable air-cooled Magirus lorries made in Ulm. The square hood from the sixties is still considered to be a perfect emblem of its time as the highly manoeuvrable construction material transporter tirelessly supplied the construction site all day long. The square hood with short wheel base and tipper was one of the main drivers of Germany’s Economic Miracle as it supplied the sand and bricks that were needed. Similarly to Leonhard Weiss, other construction businesses put their trust in this compact tipper and came to appreciate this air-cooled howler from Ulm. WIKING is releasing the Magirus square hood with a fresh chassis and a new flatbed in an effort to close a gap in the model maker's lower weight class. The flatbed can, naturally, be set upright, causing the freely swinging tailgate to open automatically. Driver's cab with bonnet as well as flatbed and rear tailgate honey yellow. Interior with steering wheel as well as chassis and cardan shaft black. Front fenders with headlamp strip as well as the step on the driver's cab traffic grey. Intermediate frame and cylinder black. Wheel rims silver. Side door handles and ornamental strip painted silver. Doors decorated with lettering and company of Leonhard Weiss Bauunternehmung in white and black. Found on the hood flanks are the Magirus-Deutz lettering painted silver with handles and three black buckles. Radiator grille with Magirus logo imprinted silver. Ornamental strip on the bumper and headlamps painted silver. Tail lights imprinted red. Black injection-moulded element with exterior mirror and marker poles included as accessories.
