Middle East - Not Astran!

One of my trucking correspondents is a Dutch transport historian called Hans Witte. He sent me these pics and info on DAF’s involvement with Turkey and Iran.

The pictures are from DAF trucks Magazines 1975, of which there were four issues per year.

In the first issue of 1975 there was an article about the set up of DAF service dealers in Turkey. DAF appointed Boronkey (a well known trailer builder) as a main dealer.
Two other service workshops were opened, one next to the Londra Mocamp in Istanbul and another in Ankara.

In the Mocamp picture you can see 3 Rynart Fiats on the left.
The blue is from Rinus (M. Rynart), the cream and green trucks were from his brother Frans (Rynart Transport).



More to come…
