Welcome back!
Logged out, back in……..no screams….. Ever fixed something, a car, lorry, whatever, and don’t know exactly how ? anyway, not gonna dwell on it though, just glad to have “fixed it”
Nice to see you back keep them coming Dave
Hi Chris… Hope you’re well..yep, back in time for the winter months…
Silence, you’ve done well. 
Welcome back here, Dave! I remember this rather advanced truck fascinated me when I was a kid, but do not forget the DAF 2600 was launched one year later (1962), which was much more modern and performing!
Thanks Paul for your advice…
I do remember the DAF, and l like them too, but that Barnard is so French and has some sort of presents about it, bit like the Citroen cars of the 50s 60s..

My son had a Majorette model of one of those (but day cab) in a lemon yellow. I thought it was a generic cab, straight from the toymaker’s imagination.

Froggy will tell us the date they first announced it, in the 60s for sure, They were advanced compared to the 60s UK lorries, they still had wooden cabs, underrated engines, lousy braking and handling, no heaters or any driver comforts what so ever.. Europe was far ahead in power and comfort, there is a Bernard TV 8 wheeler, l believe 1962/63 that had air suspension disc brakes sleeper can…look and any 60s UK lorries and you’ll see the huge differences…. That Bernard was very futuristic even for a French manafacturer….
And a bit T-cut to finish the job off

The Bernard “TV” cab was first seen at the Paris Truck Show in 1960, with this truck built for the Régie de la Télévision Française (French TV Broadcasting Board). It was then fitted standard on trucks in 1961, with a new 185 bhp 13,2 litres engine.
