Ford Transcontinental

Any idea who owns it?

Saw an old one sitting in a market garden in Angers this morning

Posted the same wagon, with another, on the Saviem thread last week, I think they may have moved location from my pics…but, nice to see they’re still around. A member on here was interested in them, he may contact you…

Possibly a company called Transport Eon in St. Gemmes sur Loire . The colours are similar to their modern fleet .

Yes you are correct (page 211 on the Saviem forum ) but the tractor is gone ,so just the rigid left there . I saw it in September 2017 as in my photos of today ,but Fergies photos do have a Transport Eon trailer next to the old Transcon .

Can you ask if its for sale please.thanks

the one in the bottom pic was one of the glasgow council ones that took compressed rubbish bales from one side of glasgow to the other side and back again.for all the distance i dont think they ever hit top gear.
total overkill and never went outside the tram lines.nice trip down memory lane topic though… :slight_smile:

the top pic is phil grant, the middle merv the swerve, the bottom was jim chandlers motor, I am led to believe, other hauliers were available.
