Black and white…Oldies with bonnets.
What on Earth was initially this one? Certainly an ex-army truck, but wherefrom?
This one triggered my attention too Paul! If the cab is anything to go by, I would say it’s a German design…?
According to JF Colombet it’s an Einheitdiesel vehicle of the Wehrmacht. Type HWA 526 D powered by a 85 bhp 6-cyl diesel.
The Mercedes-Benz Einheitsdiesel I.E.Lkw HWA 526D Einh 6x6 Lorry was a standardised Einheitsdiesel I.E.Lkw German Military - Army - Wehrmacht Lorry and was one of many produced by Mercedes-Benz and several other lorry manufacturers,such as Bussing-NAG,Henschel,Magirus,MAN.
Some German Nomenclature:-
E. or Einh = Einheits = Standardised design built by several lorry manufacturers.
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.

0An AEC Ergomatic badged Willème. Just got this picture a minute ago with no more information.
Driven a few of those over the years Froggy, Leyland / AEC …one was a Leyland Lynx Artic, I think @ 26T gross, can’t remember the HP, not much I imagined. The thing I do remember, it spent more time in the workshops, (the fitters hated the thing), mostly engine / overheating problems, ( I was never a hard driver , so ii wasn’t me ) they didn’t have a cylinder head, the block / head was machined in one, it was suppose to eliminate head gasket problems ( which it did of course) but gave trouble in other ways, had it about 6 months then they gave me a Mandator, think it was for my patience
