Evening all, yes the Tontons were a , well ugly! but it was a case where form, and purpose dictated the look. They were outstandingly simple both in terms of construction, and it naturally followed that they were simple, (and quick), to work on. Antoines later cab overs were “easier on the eye”, and the last ones, (arguably Loheac cabbed Renaults, although they had Twin splitters, and some had SAMT boxes), quite handsome. To drive, for I have been fortunate enough to drive a laden Tonton, one Berliet powered, one DAF, both Eaton 9509A, surprisingly comfortable, and manouverable, but even by the standards of the day, not “barn stormers”, but they were not intended to be! Overall, yes, you could do a hard day in one, and not feel knackered at the end! They were both surprisingly quiet as well. Overall, a bit like a simplified B series ERF, So really quite some machine! Hard day today, I am getting a bit old to do fencing and gates, (or so my various protesting bits tell me), so, shower, Poulet roti, and a little light Bollinger me thinks! Cheerio for now.
