That's the baby

It's a Saviem, or is it Renault, based cab?

Somewhere here in 'BTM Towers' I have a copy of the (original??) sales brochure, with a 4x2 tractor unit at a container dock on the cover.

And I believe the unit is still on the road, working for a recovery company (will go & check it out)

Bush Tucker Man:
Can't find the brochure at the moment, but have found this site;

http://www.fordtranscontinental.nl/



From the site, this is the cover of the early brochure I have



Which is still in the employ of TransLink Rescue

Then of course there was the famous (yellow & blue) Transcontinental that was the hauler for the Bandag Bullet D Series

Range Rover Blues:
IIRC Renault used the same can manufacturer.

The transcontinental was way ahead of it's time, with only a 32Tonne MAM there was way too much trucj there for some operators.

Love that ERF too, bet that can drink.  A lot of Harrison's in Sheffield has gone now but I think they may have one tucked away for when the highwaymen finally give out.

Co-incidentally I was reading an old copy of 'Classic & Vintage Commercial' the other day & it has a feature in it about Harrisons and their fleet in the 60's.
