Scania went down the EGR road for a while and they seemed to be ok whereas our MANs run on both systems and both types have been very unreliableIt’s probably fair to say that the F90 at least was second to none in the day.With Independent Express’ fleet being invincible for one example and our Fraikin example from memory also seeming to live up to the reputation.While obviously no chance of the Fuller option in the Merc which was the deal breaker for me between them.With the MAN Fuller installation being as good as it got with excellent shift quality.

While I’d put the Marathon a long way below nearly there in its day and definitely preferred the Foden S 83/85 even with the plastic cab.
Couple of points of order, Independent express ran the earlier F8 MAN, and in 1980 Merc UK made the 13 speed Fuller an option in the 28 by 1983 they had sold the grand total of one, so dropped it.
