Saviem's fan club (Part 1)

Well, the “old hands” once said “if you can drive and reverse a wag ‘n’ drag properly that’s the day you may call yourself a lorry driver”…

Don’t reckon todays “steering wheel attendents” would be able to reverse a artic properly let alone a wag ‘n’ drag… :unamused:

Some old French bonnets…

Loheac…look them up…a haulier who designed and made his own lorries…John Saviem knew him quite well…somewhere in the 200 odd pages he did a big write up on him…


Never seen a Berliet bonnet opening this way before! I’ll enquire to know more…

Hey Froggy,

This Berliet is own by Bequet tankerhaulage, they are a bit as Loheac, built for years there own cabs on Saviem chassis.
Later bought Berliets but put the weight down by using polyester bonnets and some other lightweight parts.

Different Continent.

Very smart wagon with a Detroit. Though it did not sound like any Detroit I remember.

Remember John writing about Loheac, didn’t recognised it as being a Loheac though… must have been sleeping during class… :blush:
Are the three pictured below Loheac’s as well?

Couple of ■■■■■■■ fridges for Monsieur Sutherland…

Don’t reckon those little Ford’s were much out and about in France?

Although not in b/w, this just might be the nostalgic pic of the week…?
