IF I WERE to trust the evidence of my eyes! should believe that Kawasaki had furtively infiltrated the commercial-vehicle market by taking over Mercedes-Benz. Even G. E. W. Neal, general manager of RT Express Ltd, of Abingdon, who knew better, had fleeting suspicions when he received two licence discs for two-axled rigid Mercs, one of tonnes and the other 14.23 tonnes, described as Kawasal "We think it a brave venturE for Kawasaki to diversify so swiftly from motorbikes to commercial vehicles but we d admire their stealth," he observed. "Even our two Mercedes-Benz vehicles so registered show no outward signs of change."
