So is this in the US? The "Do Not Block Intersection" sign would seem to say yes, but that thing has UK plates. And is painted as if it used to work in Germany...
It's stickers say Flughafen Frankfurt. Airport Frankfurt, Germany. The number plates seem more Irish than English to me. They're very similar but not same. However, it has left hand steering so it came from Continental Europe, most likely Germany.and he got some Irish or probably British number plates for it. Could be British plates but if it must be older ones. I'm German and 40yo and since I remember British plates are a bit different from these.
What a nice find! It´s an original maintenance vehicle from Frankfurt airport, I remember their color scheme from the 80/90ies. The ad under the plate could point towards a dealer in Mainz, which is only a couple miles away. The Ju52-sticker is of a now defunct company, that performed scenic flights in historic planes at FRA airport. The D is obviously the official national sticker of Deutschland. Maybe a member of the US forces in Europe bought it, drove it while in Germany and Britain, and took it home with him.
Best of OPC.

It probably doesn't move.
Truck? Yeah, that thing's a truck like a paper airplane is a jet....
@sneaky pete Actually these can carry surprisingly heavy loads. American manufacturers could stand to learn a lot from these efficient haulers.
There is one of these near my house in Beaverton. It's tan and a diesel.
I saw one of these in blue. It was really beat up. Also that bumper sticker is of a Junkers JU-52 airplane
