Nicolas N101 with V10 Deutz aircooled diesel engine, the cabin is from Magirus (also used by DAF for the N2800).

Should this be correct the point should go to "sichel".

[Alfa_Japan]

Due to the air-cooled engine concept the bonnet has a rather big size grille on both sides (left & right) and not only in front (where normally the radiator is situated). The year is 1994?

[Bill d isere]

Alfa, you have more than the right answer. I greatly congratulate you!
And indeed, I should have blocked for Sichel. I forgot to do that.
So to get forgiveness, I give each one a point
Congratulations to you

The one in the photo was on sale in 2018 with 214,000 km on the clock

Hey Alfa-Japan, hey Bill d isere, many thanks for your fairness. I will return the favour when I get the chance. But I would have had to search for a long time even with a locked puzzle. This is probably an absolutely unique piece. Nicolas mainly uses engines from Cummins, Detroit Diesel or Mercedes and cabs by Renault (Magnum, Midliner, Premium). The customer was probably an absolute Magirus fan. Thank you for the highly intriguing puzzle.

@sichel, I already received a "sichel-bee" from you some time ago, so what else could I ask for.

Nicolas makes quite some unique vehicles so this N101 is no exception.
