Sun 'maillot jaune'

[Daddybus]

Anyone heard of, got pics or refs to this model? I've been told its around 1961 (serial J1982)

Frame number sounds right, not a model Ive come across... Found a pic on the web but cant quote make out the wording...

Nor me...I only deciphered the ghost image of the old lettering on mine after seeing the name on Lloyd's decal site. Think the one on eBay is listed as a later model (- it also looks like it's been very recently painted & stickered so who knows if its correct.....???) For such a large manufacturer there really is scant info on the net & being called 'the sun' really doesn't help with search engines - as I'm sure you've experienced....
