£247,000... before any bling is added

Somebody will buy it,. End up with Tang plates,pulling a fridge.

I didn't know they'd started making those bonneted Scanias again.
Is it just me who thinks it looks a bit hideous.

,
Ok for the posers who want to draw a attention to themselves I suppose, but a plain white Topliner would be my preference.

Scanias have always been dearer than anything else, and held their price better for as long as I remember.

I reckon it looks grim to be honest, maybe a decent colour scheme would help.

by **Rowley010** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:24 pm

I think it looks crap

I think the word is "fugly".

You just get the nose no big cab a bit pricey

Ridiculous price ridiculous think. Ugly as sin too. To answer a question above Scania don't make them, a truck modding company does, in Holland I think

Whey 10 out of 10.

Vile.

Instead of making that crap, how about making the long line? Surely with length would be no different and I bet it would sell a lot more!

They are converted in Holland, I know someone who had a R series done a couple of years ago, Irish haulier as well, when it was completed he was offered an £18,000 profit on what it owed him, just proves there is money in haulage....somewhere!

Unusual for am to put the price on the website of stuff like that , it normally just says price on application , that’s an eye watering amount to say the least :shock:

And at least it would have practical use, they must be spot on those trucks to live in, instead of just ''Look at me in my big truck'' value. :roll:

Think the catwalk and back of the cab looks nice at least, shame as you'd only get to see it if there isn't a trailer on the back....

by **chaversdad** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:38 pm

There must be a market, this is the 3rd one they have had done

by **kjw21** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 7:50 pm

Having never driven one - isn’t having the bonnet a compete pain in the arse?

Think I might be in the minority - I quite liked the last series ones.

id love the hughes bros to buy it for cash and have someone to startup as sehguh logistics and see how it.goes.from there.

itl look nicer when blinged tho the interior looks like dung.

by **elsa Lad** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:11 pm

Due to the horrible HMRC enforcing the ir35 to stop the likes of me being Ltd agency. I'm thinking about selling my house and buying it to pull containers for Maritime :lol:

Looks like my old Geography teachers right shoe, can't remember his name just that we used to call him clubfoot, ahh those were the days, used to get the chalk board eraser flung at you just for singing..

Are those things still illegal with a max length trailer combination?

With those looks they should be illegal with any trailer!

by **kjw21** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:36 pm

I’m guessing so. Last one I recall seeing was Stan Robinson’s one and it was pulling a curtainsider with the rear overhang chopped off.

by **EDTRUCK** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:53 pm

You could have a new heavy haulage spec 730 for about the same money!!

Come on Pete! We all know that deep down, you want to take that ideal gruntmobile out for a spin! And what's more, it's fitted with 2 pedals and a D-N-R switch, so even you can't bollocks that up :lol:

Who does the conversion in Holland, is it ESTEPE? Asking for a friend...

by **stuwozere1** » Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:25 pm

Who on earth would buy this? It'd have to have a working life 3 times longer than most trucks....OR charge a higher rate....

And it'll be limited to what trailers it could pull, turning circle would be s*** and its about as ugly as a pitbull chewing on a wasp!
