I have read in a couple of places that Alan Lodge were intending to buy a bonneted Scania to celebrate 25 years, and that they may have bought the last RHD one.
Can anyone confirm this, and if so photos would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

This was on their website.
The company plans to celebrate its 25th Anniversary on March 1, 2006 with the arrival of a T-series Topline.
But it doesn’t say whether they did or not.

Here are some pics of Coles T cab taken at truckfest
I just love the front view of the Mack on the Bonnet
the coles truck was brilliant had to be seen the interrior was exceptional along with the rest of the truck.on the saturday day night he left the flat screen television on showing the film convoy which the truck is dedicated to.im sure it we be at most truck shows dont miss a chance to look at it you wont be disappointed
im always impressed with coles motors, they are well turned out on the road all year round, and they do some bulk work too, which makes it even harder to keep them spotless!
terrible lookin lorry, spends far too much on them
I’m only 1 mile from Lodges yard so i’ll try have a lookout for it but can’t say as ive seen it knocking about - keep seeing Lodgey in his Bentley though 
Found this on a lorry spotter site, looks nice but i preferred the blue cabs.
Thanks Toby!
Yes I have seen that site, they have new MANs in white as well now. I saw one of their old Scanias on the A1 last week with no logos but still in the old colours.
Apparently they never did manage to get a Scania T, which is a bit of a shame as they could have done something special with it - like the balck Toulson one

T580 was only in the 4 series style, when they changed to R series it became a R580 t-cab…
