Last one was a repost so here is a replacement.
Commercial vehicle yes! What is the make model and year of this unrestored example?

It has been suggested that this one is not so hard to solve.
I would agree and I can guess who's going to do it!
Up to the experts.....

Hondast, that sounds like an excellent answer and it is indeed a Willeme (prior to restoration).
I have it a year earlier - 1958 and with a different model designation.
I'm not an expert on commercial vehicles but can you provide me with proof regarding the model?
I have a photo of the vehicle after it was restored also.
Anyway LOCKED for you until your next reply.

Not that - I have the model designation as 2 letters followed by 3 numbers.
Still locked for you.....

I realise that but I don't know how to add accents, etc.
I'm using a British MacBook.
Any ideas?

The easiest way is to copy the name/designation from the original source and paste it here.  ;)
