I believe it is a Willème - but am not 100% certain.

They were a French truck manufacturer.
Founder: Louis Willeme
Founded: 1923
Ceased operations: 1970

First Pic: Truck n°1 is a Berliet GBO; n°s 2,3 & 4 are indeed Willème-PRP TGs, produced after PRP tokk over Willème in 1971, and until 1978. They were powered either by ■■■■■■■ or GM/Detroit engines.

Second Pic shows a 1949 Willème W 200. One only was built to carry a transformer down to Portugal; powered by a big 18-litre straight-8 Willème diesel giving 225 bhp. No idea what happened to it afterwards, but was probably used locally.

Thanks for the clarification and information Froggy55.

Cheers for correcting Herr Sutherland Froggy, even a blind man can see that is a Berliet… you would think that herr Sutherland would be able to spot the difference, being a long time follower of the Saviem thread… can’t really blame him though… he’s into scanny’s you know… says it all…

Here are some photos I took at Derek Parnaby’s auction in the late 80’s at Whiworth Hall, Spennymoor. He had fitted the Scammell S26 with a snout, similar to an S24 bonnet, which I was told could be used to carry heavy duty jacks, could be wrong!
It went to Vic Berry and then to Allelys who removed the nose. It had murals on the sides of the cab of Parnaby’s early Scammell and Rotinoff, both of these were also sold at the auction along with more Scammells and HHT002.

Cheers LR Man! Didn’t they had a Scanny as well with such a bull nose?

Indeed they were Johnny, I’ve posted some pic’s earlier on this thread.
Was quite a name up north, and with reason, they were in the same league as Van Seumeren which later on became Mammoet.
It didn’t end well though for Lommerts, in the mid 90s they went bankrupt, heavy division then became part of Wagenborg, which is still going strong to this day.

Oh dear. After this ear bashing I’d better go into hiding for a while.

Hi pv83,
You are right about the Scania, a 143E, this end up with Gallacher’s. I had a photo of it when Derek had it but can’t find it, I’m sure it was originally fitted with 24" wheels and had exhaust stacks built like ships funnels up the back of the cab! .

Here are a few more from the auction, he sure liked his Scammells, plus the Rotinoff and the HHT, there was also a field full of rare tractors, sorry about the quality of the photos.
