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

None of them are hard if you know the answer...

Oh so true!

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.

Willeme WR8?

woodinsight · February 13, 2011, 04:28:03 PM

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

hondast · February 13, 2011, 04:30:43 PM

LD810...

Correct - the point is yours.
.....bad timing DeAutogids, better luck next time.
Below is the vehicle in restored form -

Just nitpicking...: Willème, not Willeme

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

Allemano · February 14, 2011, 06:36:58 AM

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