Real Model – Saviem S45 1974 Transporter Truck

The 1974 Saviem S45 Ligier-Maserati was a coach converted into a race car transporter for the French Ligier team. Its enclosed body allowed for the transport of race cars and support equipment between circuits—a common practice at the time, where passenger vehicles were adapted to meet the specific needs of a racing stable.

The Ligier-Maserati livery relates to the era when the JS2 model competed in endurance racing, rather than to their Formula 1 single-seaters. In 1974, two Maserati-powered JS2s took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans: Jacques Laffite and Alain Serpaggi finished eighth in the No. 15 car, while Guy Chasseuil and Michel Leclère were forced to retire in the No. 14 car. This transporter thus highlights Ligier’s activities in the sports car category prior to their foray into Formula 1.
