Just read this article in a magazine, who would have reckoned that some piece of rust was worth a staggering €1.702.000…Right lads, I’m off to me shed, see what I can dig up as well…
All I understand is that it was bodied by Saoutchik, a famous French bodyworker, and needs complete reconstruction. No idea if the air conditionning still works…
On page 144 (aye, did me homework…) Fergie posted a pic of a G. Belin unit, that got me searching the archives yet again, and I’ve stumbled upon the following…
Another wonderful batch there Fergie, cheers mate 
Love the Willeme tank transporter…
I’ve been reading a book about the heavy haulage industry in NZ, Mighty Moves by Bee Dawson, there’s absolutely cracking stuff pictured in the book!
Did a wee search on the net, and found the following…seems those Kiwi’s got the best of both worlds, lot of yank stuff, the best of the UK industry, some European marques, and some Japanese or Korean stuff as well…
The trailers they use and axle set-up is quite different as well and therefore (well, for me anyway… 
) very interesting indeed…
Last two… pic’s was just to give you fine gents an idea of what they use “down under”, but as usual I might have…er… overdone things a bit…

Few more
That blue Tractomas on the last pic, is that still in use at the ALSTOM works in Belfort? Haven’t been there for some time now, but last time I was in, got lucky as they just fired up that old beast

What about this one then? Received this today, info is a bit brief but apparently it’s a Denonville and only 15 were build…?Nice pictures but the chassis is a TDM Berliet. Camerman had no purchased vehicles from Denonville apart from perhaps spare parts for army surplus and rebuilding. Only one chassis
from Denonville Diesel survived out of in total 150 chassis produced between 1937 and 1940.
Thank you for your specific comments, it’s been appreciated.
However rest assured that the chassis is not a Denonville at all
and out of the files available there is no mentioning of Camer-
man and the chance ‘many’ chassis survived WW2 is very small.
I asked several Belgian colleagues (e.g. Walter Ceulemans who
lived close to Camerman and did quite some investigations) and
he also doubted the chassis could/would be a Denonville.
Denonville had a specific coachbuilder for the cabs, being the
small company of Heymans from Diegem, not far from where
Denonville had their companies.
A-J
I’d really want to find the truth…
