Sales brochures

Some more from the British truck industry, but from a later time. There´s no date on this brochure, but maybe someone here can tell…

/Stellan

Going by the X registration plate on the Travis & Arnold truck, the brochure would be from around 1981.

We’ve had Berliet brochures before, but this one features a nice interior shot, so thought it was worth posting.

One here from Foden for you. The 4000-Series.

dm7301:
Have you got a UK Daf brochure from '82 with a 2800 on the cover registered RDP305Y?

Thanks,
Darren

Sorry Darren, can’t find anything.
What livery was the truck in?

From the INTERNATIONAL archives, heres the International Eagle.

Maybe a British Eagle is okay after the American one… :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

Is this readable… I noticed that the letters looked very small on my computer screen. :confused:

/Stellan

Nice one Stellan. I know which one i’d sooner be driving!
By the way, I used the ‘zoom’ facility on my laptop, and the print is still readable.

It shouldn’t be necessary to magnify the text to be able to read it… maybe this size is better. :smiley:

On older brochures, the front cover was often artwork, rather than photographic.
Heres a typical one from BORGWARD.

This has to be one of the best for front-cover artwork.
The GUY Invincible.

A few front covers from DIAMOND REO.

Hope this helps, Franky.

Thanks Franky. I’ve been scouring a few French ‘flea-markets’ this year in the hope that I could find a brochure, but i’ve
been unsuccessful so far.
Persistance will hopefully pay off though.

Maybe someone knows anything about this vehicle? It seems to be a terminal tractor, using only for this purpose… and it looks very French, but who has built it?

/Stellan

The brochure is from Belgian Railways, so that would lead me to think that the vehicle is either a MOL or LATIL.
I can’t tell if that’s a badge above the number-plate.

Autotransit:
I hope this information sheet from 1975 could be of some interest, and maybe someone can tell us more about this vehicle…

/Stellan

As a follow-up to your post Stellan, I found this. Hope it might be of interest.

Following-on from this that appeared elsewhere - the French WILLEME/BMC

This is the Spanish version - the SAVA/BMC

Were there any other versions elsewhere in the world?

A few here from Polish manufacturer STAR.

This one is from 1957.

And something more up to date…

This is the best picture I can find in the brochure. It´s almost impossible to see the badge, but could it be a MOL? :confused:

I was very surprised when I found this information sheet in my archive, I didn´t know that BMC still existed as a truck manufacturer… :open_mouth: :confused:
