Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

For anyone that's interested this truck is a Pacific M26 Dragon Wagon. They were used by the U.S. military in WWII as tank transporters and after the war a number of them were acquired by Wynn's Heavy Haulage. Minus their thirsty petrol engines and armour plating they were the prime movers for Wynns until the mid 60's when the Scammell Contractor became the truck of choice for heavy haulage.Some interesting ones from the Retromobile at the weekend.

Difficult to tell, the only give away is the badges on the back. That type badge was replaced in 1982 with black metal ones. Other than that there's very little giving away the car's age. Well it's clearly a pre-79:D (ZV and all..) 0 -

Citroen Ami. Was supposed to be the successor to the 2CV iirc. Were quite popular in France and surrounding countries
Incorrect
The Ami was launched first as the Ami 6, later replaced by the Ami 8 and Ami Super. They were not supposed to replace the 2CV, but rather fill the gap in the range between the 2CV and the DS. The Ami 6 had many DS parts in it, like the roof (which explains the Anglia style rear window, purely cos the roof was too big), the steering wheel, many interior bits as well. Chassis and engine was similar to the 2CV though.
The replacement for the 2CV you're referring to was the Dyane, which obviously failed in its goal and was survived by the 2CV by many years. Interesting fact is that the Dyane was not designed to be a Citroen, but a Panhard. Citroen, who owned Panhard at the time, decided to kill the brand and take the Dyane in its range.0 -
Interior Bits...what interior bits ??!!........ many interior bits as well. It's the nearest thing to sitting on a patio there is - except that it's moving....! Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

steering wheel, door handles, some buttons, ......
i agree that situating it between the 2CV and the DS might have been a push, but hey it was France in the early 60s.. Not the only weird thing they did hey....0 -
