Four wheelers and vans, old every day bread and butter motors that kept the towns and villages supplied.
Cheers Senior! Second pic, looks like a DKW…?

Unusual wagon, unusual load…
Old colleague of mine used to drive that wagon, at first he wasn’t all that chuffed about it, but in the end he didn’t want to swap anymore!

You could be right…possibly a two stroke…

What a coincidence, that was some time ago, that’s a motor of the '80’s I think…
Swap a Pegaso 8 wheeler Patrick? I bet your colleague did not want to swap. He’ll of a motor. I drove one in Spain.

What a coincidence indeed! Small world and all eh… 
Haven’t spoken to him for a wee while now, reckon he’d retired in '08, one of his last trips was with me, we’ve loaded some machinery in Luxembourg destinated for the Czech Republic. True remarkable character he was, always had a burning cigar in his mouth… Not to mention the volume of his voice…

He didn’t David, he was given a DAF 2800 afterwards but hated it…

Best-looking of the early-1970s lorries, alongside Scania and Berliet, IMO.
And I believe that you are dead fight.
Some had Fuller boxes but most had a 12 speed range change of Pegaso’s own. The Range Change was activated by twisting the round plastic knob on the top of the gear stick. It must have seemed like a good idea to the designers but as it wore it became very easy to move and since you naturally make a twisting movement with your hand whilst changing gear it became very easy to find yourself changing range when you really did not want to.
The Spanish drivers had a name for it but I have already been told off for swearing in foreign - so i won’t!

So, Whippersnapper moaned and whined about his auto box, but as he works for such a good company they relented, and gave him a manual…lucky boy…and to prove it, that’s my bike in the foreground, doing the ■■■■■■ for him…mind you, he’s still whinging…something about the heater not working and the draught…bloody nippers, just cant get on with the job…

I remember being out with a mate in his old Morris minor van when a rear tyre blew out, he got the spare out which was completely bald, I said he couldn’t put it on as it was dangerous , to which he replied “wait till you see the one that’s coming off”…wire and canvas, not a shred of rubber…phew

From most angles, and in most liveries and chassis configurations, the Berliet is a smart-looking motor. Sometimes, when all three are “right”, it is as elegant as a lorry can be.

You’re right…The Transcontinental, same cab, but with the extra extention always made it look top heavy…There are a lot of trucks look just right (especially with the right trailer) the relax cab Berliet with a forty foot tilt being just one of them…I feel a theme coming on…trucks that look right. .
