Buzzer, at 6.00 am (eastern time) this morning as I left for work that's exactly what I did.
RIP Saviem.

Me too John, helping a neighbour with some decorating, went out into their orchard at midday, ( hour in front ) and had a couple of minutes of peace and tranquility to respect a really nice man....

I reread some of his posts this morning.
The man had a knack with words for sure, and a way of involving everyone. An ability to invoke a certain time or place . And , of course his sign off line re a glass of Bollinger...

I hope he has many up there , and all on the compliments of the house.

John was a salesman Baldrick!, talking to another haulier at his wake yesterday and there was a waiting list for new Sed Atki's and this customer wanted 4 x 400 day cabs with 250 Cummins in, guess what John came up with 4 nearly new ones and blagged the Brown 400 E290 demo motor from the factory for them to use as well!

Thanks Pete. I am sure his wife will appreciate the high esteem in which her late husband was held.

Class Pete!
You knew him well.. So, was the Bollinger thing real or conjured up? It's a great image , just wondering if it was the salesman and raconteur coming out!
Best wishes.

Hi Balders,
Bollinger was real and think it was Banks's bitter when down pub, a bit of difference in taste!

I just discovered this website and was trying to guess who was sitting behind the name of Saviem
all surprised to see mention of my name ... what a sad and tragic news.
John did work for Saviem and that is where he got involved in the knowledge of Saviem Berliet and Lamberet story.
a well of knowledge and big shoes to fill in now !

Close, Mike: it was 1990 at Belle Vue. Here's a photo showing John's View-Line, with his Defender in the background.

Alongside is my View-Line, still under restoration, and with the late Pete 'Atkiman' Davies at the wheel

I am very upset to read these posts, had many a long chat with John on this forum. I dont use it as often as I did, but wish to send my belated condolences to his family. Saviem put me and several other people right about the marque, even though I owned one that owed me nothing

RIP
I lost my marbles and got an HGV licence. now I have lost my HGV and still havent found what I'm looking for.
