Berliet trucks at a truckstop in the early '60s
Hi Froggy…I posted that pic a few years ago and someone said it was from a film / documentary, is that right ?
Here’s 2 more that I believe are also from a film or Doc ?
Unfortunately, I can be no help to you there. I could just suggest the two pictures above were taken on the road to Middle-East, perhaps in Turkey in spring.
Looks like Tahir, Eastern Turkey. In good weather & conditions
I hope they had a good heating!
PV 83 the first big ’ Relaxe ’ cab was delivered on the GPRK 6x2 in 1959.
Later in 1961 the GRK 4x2 was launched with it’s tractor version named TRK.
PV 83 the narrow ’ Relaxe ’ cab was from the GAK 4 ( headlights at the side of the grille ) towards the GCK with Trilex wheels .
One GAK 4 in the factory in Lyon with Perkins 6 cylinder engine.
A GCK in removal use.

Merci Michel,
Odd to think this goes as far back as 1959, as it looks so much more modern.

0 What about this Dutch-built Seddon-Van Twist?
Nice one Paul, as being the main importer for Holland, they used a lot of Seddons in their own fleet as well, pity all of them are long gone now.

In all fairness, Van Twist was a major player in heavy and special transport though the Seddon-Van Twist was merely a feeder/supplier I guess.
A book on the 175-year of existence is still for sale…heavy, nice but not a book to look in every three months
Here the cover of the book with subjects as heavy haulage, cranes, perkins and a variety of represented cars and truck.
I understand this is about their 175th anniversary? Does Van Twist still exist?
Van Twist (actually KVT or Kemper & Van Twist) does exist but I am not sure about their heavy-transport-division.
The book can be obtained (approx € 55,00) at Transmobiel in Mookhoek…transmobiel@ziggo.nl
Looks like a day-cabbed Unic Esterel. 8 litres 160 bhp engine.
