French scrapyard pictures

[welbike]

Hi there, great stuff, only discovered this now!

Alex, on page one you posted this picture of a White 704S;



Do you know where that is/was??? (I think I have the radiator and engine from this truck, if it was north of Nancy)

My own White 704S (ex-French contract) came from Sabatier in Troyes the yard on the rte. de Auxerre, where there is an Aldi supermarket now! Sabatiers was an enourmous place, he had 4 yards all over the Troyes, and once he knew you, we could wander around freely.

Have many pictures myself, but all pre-digital, have to scan them one day!

Here however the White when still at Sabatier:







And all restored:



Not the only survivor, but another 3 known (by me) in France, but the only restored one sofar I know.

To the right of this one there also was a huge Model 920, ex French Army petrol tanker, we took the cab and parts from that one, to aid in the restoration.

Cheers,

Lex
