Saviem SG2 van Igra/SAI

Brand - Reference

Igra-SAI 2910

Type

Saviem SG2 elevated van

Comments

Glazing fitted into the body, including side and rear windows. Flexible tyres are mounted on flat-band rims and therefore do not deform. There is a minimum clearance on the axles. Wipers to mount are included in the box, as well as mirrors.

Raw plastic of granular appearance. Unpainted headlight surrounding. Several body stamps are missing on the sides of the van. The windscreen seems too enveloping and gives a magnifying effect. Rear lights, painted with a non-covering colour, will have to be reviewed. The wheel holes are not in the axis, so they are askew.

Modifications

Mirrors and wipers mounted.

History
