Highlights: – 2.8-litre (2799 cc) four-cylinder diesel engine, manual transmission – Hanomag L28 light truck in an open pick-up configuration with a canvas top – Restored several years ago, finished in blue with black wheels – Bench seating in the cab and on the load area – Chassis data plates fitted on the bodywork and in the engine bay The private seller offers for sale this 1951 Hanomag L28, powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a manual transmission. With its upright bonnet, chrome-ringed headlights and a long open body under a canvas hood, this Hanomag has all the character of the post-war German commercial vehicles that helped rebuild the country in the early 1950s. Hanomag, based in Hannover, was one of Germany’s oldest vehicle manufacturers, and the L28 was one of its robust light trucks of the post-war years. Built on a simple and sturdy ladder chassis, it was powered by a four-cylinder diesel engine, a proven choice for economy and durability in daily commercial use. Bodies were built in many forms, from flatbeds and vans to buses and special-purpose vehicles, and this example is configured as an open utility with a canvas top and bench seating, a layout that makes it equally suited to carrying passengers and goods. According to the seller, the vehicle was completely restored several years ago. It is finished in a blue that suits its utilitarian lines, with black-painted wheels, a grey-painted cargo area, black bench seats and period instruments in the cab. The photographs also show the chassis data plates on the bodywork and on the bulkhead of the engine bay, as well as the spare wheel stowed on the load area. The open body makes it an eye-catching participant at classic vehicle events, parades and club meetings. Condition of the bodywork & paint 4 — Very Good.
