There's a whole mess of wrongness going on here. Anyone want to take a guess?
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

Re: Classic pictures Update 04/09/2016
Nice one eh, another example of some fine engineering 
The engine and chassis are MAN, I believe from the F8 type, and the "cab" started live as a Ford Granada..? The front end seems to come of a Transit van..?
Although it's a bit odd looking, to put it mildly, I must admit that I'm curious about the handlings, I reckon it's got some simularities driving a bus..?

Patrick I guess with a steam powered truck in Russia you wouldnt need a heater to stay warm

Yes the front grill did remind me of the Tranny front grill, the body more like a Volvo car?

As I understand it, MAN chassis, Granada bodywork, Merc 307 grille. Why they didn't just keep the Ford front end - unless some length had to be lost perhaps?
I wonder what the staff at the test centre thought when that turned through the gate!

Re: Classic pictures Update 04/09/2016
Those russians are interesting. I wonder what the unladen weight of the steam truck was?
As for the others, I would say the first Kamaz has some Merc in it, the next has a Deutz style badge but looks very Volvo. On the next Kamaz the cab sides have the sweep of a Scania. The blue truck Unic / Fiat. The yellow trucks are similar to Titans and one of them is rhd.

Don't know if that outfit was used for a longer amount of time, but I've found a pic doing that same work, but with a Merc tractor... Maybe the Granada driver was fed up with things..?
Can't tell you more about those russians, nicely spotted though that one of the yellow 8 leggers is a RHD, didn't noticed that myself at first...

Well, I can imagine that the driver wanted to stay warm by all means whilst driving through Siberia with minus 60C
