Hi ERF, I rather like this Saviem picture and the Breton piper image on the Trailer. This artic is from " Fergie 47 " area in Bretagne/Brittany.
Meanwhile, Hurry up and get better soon, Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, & Feliz Navidad.

Initially an arm manufacturer, Hotchkiss produced light (under 10 ton gross weight) trucks until 1970. They were at a stage the importer for Leyland trucks in France, adding their own badge to Leyland’s.

I hadn’t noticed that! Probably just for the picture, because two mirrors were certainly compulsory in the early sixties, with a minimum size.

Yes. They were ubiquitous until the EU paid Spain to scrap them! Here’s one I snapped in Pamplona during the great truck replacement drive in the '90s.

Seeing this photo reminded me of this beautifully restored Willeme at the Locomotive and truck show (2019) in Melun, south east of Paris.

Rather tasteful IMHO - 'nuff to make our ZbAnorak salivate I reckon! Love the two-tone green.

At the risk of being called a philistine, I think it’s one of the ugliest motors I’ve ever seen.

The green Boule looks superb, but I think I prefer the Transports Vaillant Saviem tractor, a few posts further up. Does anyone know which coachbuilder is responsible for that cab?

Just as for the Pegaso, I’ll say it has an unique design.
