WW1 FWD, Peugeot, Adler and Nash Quad restorations

[Great War truck]

A very good friend sent me this marvellous link to the restoration of Peugeot and an Adler which will interest many members on here

What I found of great excitement were these three clips of a partially restored FWD pushing an Adler (WW1 German) truck. What was of interest was that the FWD sounded similar to ours which is always a good sign (although it did start a great deal more easily than ours), and apparently screaming as loudly as you can in French means stop.

There is also lots of photos and a clip of the Peugoet being tow started which I always thought was a massive no-no with chain drive. Marcel will be interested in this I am sure.

There is also a clip of a Nash Quad with a load of kids (someone call the H&S executive – oh hang on, its in France so they can do whatever they want without the fear of intervention) which reiterates my observation that the Nash Quad goes like S*** of a shovel.

Thanks for posting the links Tim! I have been on the phone with this collector several times but somehow I forgot to post the link to his website :blush:

Was he very helpful? He seems to have a very impressive collection?

[Cel]

Yes he does have quite a collection. I plan on visiting him when we visit the Peugeot museum this fall. He was after my Peugeot as well and called me a few days after we bought it.
