The K prefix indicates that it was registered in Cologne ( Koln ) & the H at the end indicates that it's unsurprisingly a historic / classic vehicle of at least 30 years of age.

All in the eye of the beholder. They command serious money when they do come on the market.

They must be confident having travelled to Scotland and it's a pity all identification has been removed. Maybe I'll have a laugh tomorrow and walk past with wifey while saying Hey! Look! A Hanomag Herschel Oh Please!

The Diamond on the front is that "Borgwold" (spelling?), I used to have an "ISABELLA" that had a similar Badge on the grill
I don't know, the bit on the Web I found said they were a German truck maker. I haven't looked any further into them. Currently queuing at Plymouth for the ferry. :)

Hanomag Henschel were a truck manufacturer. The Henschel motor was and still is very respected in Europe. Many coach manufacturers such as Setra used Henschel engines and they were eventually taken over by Mercedes Benz. Orion would be the coach builder of the motorhome and I may be wrong, but I always thought they were French.

My old mate Jaap Stutvoet in Oude Pekela has restored a few Henschels. He still works them, but not on a daily basis.
