1978 Mazda B1800 Hitachi demonstrator Autotrade 12/78

I'm guessing from the Kent 'KM' plate that this was supplied by the Mazda importers as part of a tie-up with Hitachi, so I doubt they would have been pleased to see it described as a Toyota!

 

Looks like a Suntrekker demountable camper body to me, there's a good period ad for it here: classicsworld.co.uk/nostalgia/retro-ads-suntrekker/

 

I think I have a brochure or two for it in my collection.

 

The Mazda has been dressed-up with slotmag wheels (Wolfrace?) and some US truck style mirrors. DVLA says WKM 457S lasted to 1990.
