Saviem's fan club (Part 1)

jsutherland:
Thanks again John for yet another fascinating post.

I certainly concur :sunglasses:

Do you know perchance how many of those Nicolas “super lorries” were built?
First one that comes to mind is the one once owned by Sunters Bros/Econofreight, wonder what happened to it…
Fortunately I was at the Nicolas works some years ago to pick up some modular units.
Little did I know at the time about the history of Nicolas, but the lads where friendly enough to give me a quick tour around, interesting to see and surely there were some “artifacts” of some 40 or 50 odd years ago…
Only thing that changed now for them is that they’re in a group with Scheurle and Kamag these days, I wonder if the German counterparts can appreciate the French approach of how to get labour done :wink:

Cheers, Patrick
