Bon courage pour la restauration.

Congratulations with, a bit of a project but the remaining looks to be in a good condition.

Default Picture founded

Hello

It was not for "NORMANDY 84" but 10 years later and with an accurate examination of the rear of the truck you will find your new baby

Best regards Serge

Default Story of these truck

Hello

I know the sad story of these truck. Some month before NORMANDY 94 the truck was buy in ENGLAND and the new owner (a french guy) like to do money with old military truck and also mechanic.

As the price requested was very high he cuts the top of the truck in the aim to be stores in a shed. He hoped that time passing the price will follow but helas for him it was not the case. (en français cela serait plus simple)

Au plaisir Serge
