Hi guys, looking for pics of 1 series Scanias in P&O Ferrymasters livery for modelling purposes.
A ‘please’ tacked on the end would probably bring better results 
it doesn’t even cost owt!
PLEASE!
Never knew they had any. Plenty of Mercs Foden’s and p cab scanias with those stupid looking tag axles though!..
Hi,I fall in with Ash as I dont remember them having 1 series Scanias in the P&O livery,they had 80’s and 2 series.Theres a pic of a 110 in the old livery on page 1 of scrapbook.I seem to recall F86’s were their frontline motor. 
Cheers Bubbs, 
Thats absolutely spot on ta very much!
Why were some of them light blue instead of yellow?? Summat to do with tankers?

Wolfie; I thought you were experienced at European work? 
And knew all about the different companies. So surely you’d know what the blue motors were…
The “holding company” was P & O (Paciffic & Orient). Within it there were many “subsiduary companies”. To name some; P&O Roadways, Anglo Overseas, P&O Roadways Heavy Haulage, Pandoro, John Forman, Robert Armstrong and FERRYMASTERS.
ALL of them, except Ferrymasters were blue and white. Nothing to do with tankers. Way before they joined P&O, Ferrymasters were yellow&white. They just kept the colours after the merger.
So you can see why we did’nt think that Ferrymasters ran Scania 1 series… you meant P&O in general. DOH !
BTW: Still don’t think I ever saw a P&O blue Scania 111 pulling Ferrymasters trailer. Definatley got NO photos of any. Be a strange looking combo! But I might be wrong.

Sorry but it was “Peninsular and Oriental” not “Pacific and Oriental”.
Off to bed…

Ash,the only reason I remember the P and O bit was because it was either the Arabian Peninsular or the Malay Peninsular that the shipping line was named after,and years later I won a pub quiz with the answer - £5 I think,which would equate to at least three nights out.

They did have some in the Ferrymasters yellow & white but they were French registerd.
Never drove for them so wouldn’t know that.
OK so why were some of Garretts wagons under the name of Garrett International and others under the name MFG with same livery.Unless you worked for or with us you ain’t gonna know that.
Is this any use:
