I think its name is rather BK 555, but the point is yours.
The truck was revived recently after having collecting dust for 35 years in a collection.

How did it end up with a Dutch license plate. Was it made for the Dutch market ?

In 2005 it had other plates within the private collection of W.Schramm (in Germany)

No, the truck was bought last year by the Dutch Borgward aficionado Berry Bennis from the son of the late owner.
