Are any of the big European dealers like Budge's online yet?

None of the "big" UK dealers are online as far as I know.

I'm interested in a german truck.

WWII or later ?

If its a WWII model you may want to think long and hard. These things are
not in the dealers yards waiting for a buyer.

Genuine and rusty, 50% there if you're lucky, basket cases, if you can find
one, are very expensive, restored and running you may well be looking at
$50,000 US or indeed much more. Papier maché cabs were used later in the
war to conserve steel and time doesn't help these at all.

In general there are very few surviving models and the worlds stock of the
few surviving types can be counted on the fingers of two hands at the best,
even Mr Spielberg had to fool us with a Morris Commercial MRA1 since no Opel
Blitz 3, 6-6700A could be found.
