  • Because you have a lot of questions about it and I do too,
  • Because some of you have already given me some answers
  • Because I have already done this inventory on my computer, but I still have questions
  • Because maybe with more people we will find other answers
  • …..

I offer this small inventory. I will only put one photo per model, and a comment beside.

I will publish this page over the water, I don't finish it today, neither tomorrow !

  • If you know dates, anecdotes, details, I invite you to leave me comments at the end of this page, or send me an email at the address at the end of the article, thank you !

other vehicles maybe ???
Contact me to correct the errors in this article, indicate the car number, thank you, sure marc@sixmania.fr !


From a reliable source, I know there is a second Renault 5 Turbo 6×6 in Paris but not from CdL, he swore it to me and I believe him. If you know things, feel free to contact me on
marc@sixmania.fr

For C15, if we really find them all, I will write them down here :

  • 1 Municipality of Pontivy (56), thank you Maxime
  • 1 Municipality of Biarritz blue and gray, thanks Michel
  • 1 at the Sabatier Zèbrée garage, very beautiful

Finally not from him, he still participated in the editing in his own way.

???? CX Tissier bagagere 2778 NX 93
CdL Said he built it, more… non !
La Cx 6 wheels 4 white and blue doors is a modification of the Maillet de Choques workshops. The transformation into a motorhome was carried out on the basis of an ambulance CX recovered from his great friend Pierre Tissier, Mr De leotard was only the owner (Thank you Mister Buron)

SM Tray 10 Tissier wheels
71nn xx nn
It was Pierre Tissier's client. He was the co-author in the sense that he tried to help the construction, but it didn't go very well… I have the whole true story of this car very warm ^^ I do not stretch.
-restored at Jean-Michel Gallet's, Garage SM2A from Retromobile 2020 !

Founder of mm2 France, oto6, then from Sixmania. The 6 wheels and more have always been a passion for me. It started in 1980 thanks to a certain Christian de Léotard, you know ?

  1. Hi it's Jeff, very good job at the moment.
    don't you think the mat zebra 6845 MW 92 either a 280 GIVE?

    As for Claude Briand and the 300 GD, he left with CdL in 84 on the Dakar with the 6×4.
    Mercedes was registered 786 EPK 75

    Finally The giraffe which must also be another 300 GD (but to check), she is registered 5073 MW 92 (which suggests an immaturity at the same time as the zebra which resembles)

    A+

    1. Thank you very much Jeff, I will look into your info, good comments were lost in the middle of hundreds rotten…
      It won't happen again !

  2. Hello M. Simonnet la Cx 6 wheels 4 white and blue doors is a modification of the Maillet de Choques workshops The transformation into a motorhome was carried out on the basis of an ambulance Cx recovered from his great friend Pierre Tissier Mr De léotard was only the owner
    For the c15 wheels only a hundred were produced . Note that some c15 6 pickup wheels are of artisanal designs and that the company gruau also manufactured some but for these I am unable to say if the base of the cabin chassis was a Chausson or totally modified by gruau .
    Other details the platform in the SM2A garage is not an achievement from Tissier but an achievement from his boss JM Gallet. From Tissier it only has the rear wheels recovered from vans from Tissier, as for the gray card it is a gray van card ds 6 Tissier wheels by examining some photos you will see that in some cases it is in WW ! ! Pierre Tissier never built a platform with the right platform, but still tilted, except the prototype in 6 wheels later changed to 8 wheels , then completely rebuilt in the years 80
    Regards Mr Buron
