ha ha! Two of my all time favourite trucks now you mention the f16: I love globetrotters ever since I was a kid, but which is best!!! 143… Or f16 globetrotter? I’d love to hear peoples opinions on this.
That f16 of yours looks very nice mate, have you started work on it yet at all ? All the best harryvr6

If you fancy a ‘left ■■■■■■’ have a butchers here; trucks.nl/SearchResult.asp?l … xtra_Btw=+

You can also have a nice adventure going over to Euroland to pick it up, I took my 10 yr old sone with me to Germany to collect my F16 and we had a great couple of days away…

Despite having owned one of each I’ve never worked the F16, the 143 I owned was a number of years ago and was a Topliner, there’s no doubt the Globetrotter has more room and much better cupboard space, the Scania has plenty going for it and I don’t doubt lots of Scania fans wouldn’t thank you for a Globetrotter.

Here’s another ‘lefty’ in Spain, you also get a nice drive back from Alicante if you buy this and they’re only asking 7,000 Euro’s.

Nice 143, from my experience at motorsport events the trucks are all nearly new and not as interesting as these old ones. Good to see a proper truck mixing it with newer more expensive ones.

Hope they took their thermals!

Didn`t need thermals ADR, just a sense of humour, and a good night heater, and a good thick quilt, and anything else that could keep you warm
