I thought there was some mistake but apparently it is indeed an unregistered Streamline. The New Generation model has been out for 4 years now so who would honestly part with their own money to buy old stock like this? It looks dated already. I’m curious how it never sold when it was originally built over 4 years ago. Maybe the vendor had the price too high and no-one was prepared to pay the asking price and it’s been sat in the back corner of the forecourt ever since? It being LHD won’t help its chances either, at least not as a UK sale.
Absolutely, (If in a moment of extreme insanity, where I thought becoming an owner driver again was a good idea )
Id buy it for the right money, why wouldn’t I?
Proven truck that even looks much better than it’s replacement imo.
Lhd will make it even cheaper, and if doing Euro even better…what’s not to like?
Nowt wrong with lhd s on UK either.
(as long as you adjust your weekend car driving and are prepared for ‘kerbed’ wheels. )
So yeh, it would be a case of ‘Bring it on’’ for me.
But it’ll never happen,.I’d go for that ‘‘pineapple rammed violently up by arse’’ option I’ve mentioned before, if given the choice of that and buying a truck again

Be surprised if Some one from across the Irish sea may be interested in that cheers Ray
auto box spoils it to be honest . Real tangs will want a manual stick lol.Just noticed its not a twin wheel tag so theres another down score and it hasnt got twin fuel tanks for the cheap diesel . She had better be coming at the right price as a lot of modifications and bling will need to be put on it as well .

Second hand 1400 kms

Bit of a strange one, it’s a 70 reg but it’s done 1,400 km which is a bit much for the occasional test drive but not enough to have been used commercially. I would guess that it’s been used at a racetrack or airfield or similar on some specialist job.

Says unregistered in the description. Although there is a trailer plate visible under the passenger seat. Also to beefy above, what’s the thing with twin tag wheels? I made a post in the o/d forum about that just a few days ago.

A proper “Tang” wants a twin wheel tag - (They have never sat in a mid lift and have no idea of the comfort they are missing out on ) and a manual stick - (again never used an I-shift box and how simple it is )
Notice I said WANTS not needs - its all about the image not the practacality of the thing .
I’m not a tang lol but I do like the twin wheel tag - for me it just looks better , single wheel tag looks horrible to me , with the super single wheel only slightly better . It just takes the twin wheels to make it look “right” and as a diehard Volvo man I do have to say Scania does the twin wheel tag best of all .

I completely agree with you on the looks of a ‘double drive’ on alloys, even if it’s only a 6x2 twin tag lift in reality, but other than looks I’m seeing a whole boatload of negatives running such a configuration at 44 tonnes. As I said in the o/d thread : extra rolling resistance = lower mpg, extra weight, extra maintenance and extra cost for the rubber itself. What am I missing? I’d have one myself but 200kg ? from 2 extra wheels and tyres eating into my available payload is not a good recipe for making profit and that’s before factoring in the added costs from the other stuff.
