To know his story, who was he, what was his life....looks like he either lived or worked in Auxerre in the war years, blacked out lights, gas driven motor....we'll never know I guess..

What on Earth was initially this one? Certainly an ex-army truck, but wherefrom?

At least do we also know his truck was a charcoal gas powered Renault.

I guess the pictures were taken close to Aubenas, in Ardèche, and the Actros's registration looks fake to me. Strange that its crane wasn't removed to be sold.

This one triggered my attention too Paul! If the cab is anything to go by, I would say it's a German design..?

That Scanny would have made a nice project... the Berliet looks like the one I've snapped years ago in Castets, posted it on here too, John made a comment about a proper restaurant near the coast IIRC...

And that Merc belongs there, according to some...

Last pic, it says "Dutchmen" on the bumper, it's easy to imagine they've crossed borders in that Diamond...
It's fitted with a regional registration too, before the national registration came out.

Nice find Senior, cheers

According to JF Colombet it's an Einheitdiesel vehicle of the Wehrmacht. Type HWA 526 D powered by a 85 bhp 6-cyl diesel.

If the first truck is definitely a Berliet TDR 7, could the tipper in the background be a British truck?

Tipper could well be a Fordson. Robert

Here's another Fordson which will be put for auction near Tours on Sept 29th. Its said it's powered with a 4-cyl petrol engine, and is RHD; possibly imported from Britain?

It ranks alongside Destination Doha, IMO.

Certainly most interesting and so typical of the late 1970s, including haircuts and moustaches!

What's wrong with that? That's fast unloading for ya! Besides... couldn't possibly be me... as that wagon is probably fitted with a manual gearbox...

Yesterday and today, the guy stood on his door step, his house is the one with the blue garage door, the old Citroen is parked where the cars are.....Its a village I've been through a few time, near Morlaix.

Is that a Ford Anglia I can see on the left hand corner of the picture?

Might also be another,light colored one up on the right hand side too!
