I found a photo of it in the old southampton hauliers thread. She’s a great lookin machine… ones again sorry for hijacking this thread and sending it off course a little bit
That’s fine mate that’s what TNUK is all about especially when there’s nought on telly worth watching, cheers Buzzer.
Very true and it looks like saints threw away there lead as its 2-2 at the moment. There was also another lorry i saw that you may know the answer too. i saw an old volvo f 12 with Lawson on the head board pulling a container down by dock gate four. Any ideas where thats based. t’was another fine machine
Buzzer:
Horry says this is A541 OAT going back a bit as has a Chingford trailer on, Buzzer.
Hi Buzzer what colour were the Chingford’s chassis ■■? I know the wheels were orange got any pics ■■?

Hi mate missed your last post as im’e an old and have to go to bed at nine, but my secretary Jimski did the answer for me. Last saw Ian Lawson tipping next to our yard into a cold store and said to him when you goin to sell that old truck to me, he said ide have to have deep pockets as the offer on it is K26 at the moment and he told me he gave about K30 for it brand new, he never relined the brakes on it till it was 8yo and then only cos they had gone hard. Ian is about 76yo him self and still at it but does only the work he wishes to do as he has no outstanding HP on the old girl now so no financial pressure. He told me he went to Sweden in it last year and was besieged by a group of chaps on the Friday when he tipped and they ended up convincing him to stay and took him to a truck museum before he returned. I can still remember the F88 230 he had before this truck, it has to be said there cannot be to many trucks owned and driven for 35 years and still out there earning a crust.
PS. Ian told me it still has the original engine and gearbox in it. Cheers Buzzer.

Sorry John for hijacking your thread but as you are all Scania now mate 
Regards Pat
Nothing wrong with Volvo Pat… Ask Ian Lawson 
well there never used to be 
R Jim
Talking of Volvos Jim.Ian had at one time an ex Rawlings 88 no VCG 668H which I drove for some time when on for Rawlings.Must have doe over a zillion miles.Regards Charlie
there isn’t very true. i was driving when i passed it so didnt fully take it in… she’s some machine though. thanks for posting the photos.
I remember when both Ian Lawson and Steve Mathews bought new trucks in the same colours to work for Jack Fecit, Solent Shipping and TransportCanute Road!
Regards Pat
Steve Mathews worked with us for a while but when he was on for Vincent Cottells he used do groupage to francee and load multi collections of wine back, he knew all the vineyards with out a map in the end, the ones he could get in to and the ones where they brought the cases down to the end of the lane in a Renault 4 van and subsequently ended up with a fine collection of expensive wines to boot. Cant see paying hundreds for a bottle of wine , in the end its only four glasses and its gone, Buzzer.

Hi Pat hope you are well?
is that first picture a recent one? if so is that a replacement for your beast on the left? looks like an original streamline or centurian
regards Andrew
looks like an original streamline or centurian
Looks like a straight 143/ 450 A.M. Centurians and streamlines came out later “K”- “L” reg maybe and had a more rounded Topline cabs IMMSMR. I had a 143 /470 , “G” reg, first of the processor controlled models went like the preverbial off a shovel if the weights etc were right . Only gave you full power if you were at max weight then pulled like a train . Beautiful tool to go to work with …
Buzzer Bangers of world repute, did you get them ? If so where are the pics ,lol… We need a genuine road test you know ,we, re spoilt now ,lol…
Enjoying your pics btw,ty …
Have a safe one.

That was a Topline Steamline 143 450bhp on an N reg I did not run it and later I sold it to Dave Johnson of Melksham
Who would drive that about with that written on the back of the cab■■?
