Re: Saviem's fan club.Going to apologies now, for later !!
Apart from photo's from magazines, I've been lucky enough to meet 2 French lads who have a huge collection of photo's that they have kindly sent me on disk and via computer to post here. The problem is at the moment I can't see a way of marking the ones I've posted....so I know that I'm doubling up here and there...bear with me till I can devise a cunning plan, other than relying on my (poor) memory.... ![]() Last edited by Fergie47 on Fri Dec 18, 2015 1:31 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Saviem's fan club.Here here! If some of them double up, so be it. It's just wonderful to see all these pictures on here that we may never otherwise have seen. Cheers! Robert

Re: Saviem's fan club.
Well, thanks lads........ I think I can do it by star marking them in Picasa, it will take me longer though, but, if you guys don't really mind.... ![]() entre le chien et le loup
Re: Saviem's fan club.Filled up with diesel yesterday at our local supermarket. 0.92.5 euro per litre, think that's about 70p in your money.......
As a matter of interest, what's the price around your area..? entre le chien et le loup
Re: Saviem's fan club.
84p ex vat Fergie
Re: Saviem's fan club.Don't take the p*ss, Fergie

Re: Saviem's fan club.

0.979€ down here in the southwest ![]()
Re: Saviem's fan club.
Helo Pete. No, you would not like that little H serie Latil, which became the Saviem LRS serie H. She is a 1957, with a little 4 cylinder. You would really prefer the big Somua, in the next picture down, with the 190 hp 6 cyl, and that futuristic Cottard cab, 80 kph, @26 tonnes in the 58/61 period. That was some lorry, and she had a heater, and leather seats!.......A mans lorry! Happy Christmas, .....Joyeux Noel...... Cheerio for now.
Re: Saviem's fan club.
Sorry Pete, I missed this post, but see John has now answered you...... ![]() entre le chien et le loup
Re: Saviem's fan club.
You're richer in the South than us poor Bretons, that's why it's more expensive... ![]() Last edited by Fergie47 on Mon Dec 21, 2015 3:35 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Saviem's fan club.Imagine being given one of these wagons new....perhaps your pride and joy at the time, you'd know her intimately, every little nuance, every rattle, squeal, shake and sound, then the old girl gets sold on, eventually retires and ends up abandoned, like these...Some will be saved to get rebuilt and put back on the road, but not for the majority.
So, here's a few more, sadly resting and rusting away.....

Re: Saviem's fan club.Nice pictures David.
Though am both in tears and enraged at that poor magnum having been vandalised. Surely she would have been a great motor with life left on her or at least a great donor. But after a year or so this interior will be as dead as the exterior. Such a shame. Come to think of it, the first AEs will soon be turning 26. They are slowly starting to appear on the classic scene, as do the first FHs.
Re: Saviem's fan club.Here's pic's of the French lorries that I would love to have driven, in no particular order, although my favorite, (had I been born 10 years earlier) would be the TV cabbed Bernard......

Re: Saviem's fan club.
Junior.... There was a Magnum parked up in the next village to us, a 6 X 4 and English registered in a similar condition, although not so vandalized ....I eventually got around to going there with the camera to get some snaps but it had gone. Speaking to a neighbor he said the Mayor of the village had told the guy to get rid of it as it was an eye sore, the guy himself had moved on, so the mystery and history of that particular Magnum does remain...a mystery !!

Re: Saviem's fan club.
Hi Fergie, Just trying to remember who ran 6x4 Magnums in England,was it R.H from Nottingham? had single tyres on drive axles. Good shot of the Saviem in the snow mate, Cheer's Pete
Re: Saviem's fan club.
Pete.....it was red mate....no name...it was in a fenced off area in his garden, cab half tilted, bits missing, wheels off...looked like it was being used for parts to keep another running although I didn't see another one......definitely twin wheels on the rear bogie though, and Renault engine not a Mack... Wish I'd got there earlier.....must keep a camera handy in future !!! entre le chien et le loup
Re: Saviem's fan club.
You got me thinking now Fergie, I have seen some 6x4 Magnums on N reg's, did Norbert run any?
Re: Saviem's fan club.Pete.....it wasn't a Dentressangle, I'd have spotted that. Thinking about it, I'm sure it was S reg. Unless the guy is on here or someone recognises it, it's gonna be a mystery..... I wont mention the village just in case.. However, call me a cynical old sod, when I was looking at it, and every time I passed it, I use to get the feeling...."that ain't quite right"...
