It could be over 20 years old. The straw bales in the background suggest it might still see a bit of seasonal action. I reckon now is the time to start hiding these early 4 series Scanias away. A 144 will be as sought-after in 10 years’ time as a 143 is now. Maybe.

I think also the Renault Magnum, todays Transcontinental, a wise man with a shilling and a big shed wouldn’t do too bad buying a couple…I’ve got the space…but no money…
Is that Patrick in the photo being restrained by his nanny as he tries to get to a low loader ?

Hi Dave

Sorry to say you’re both wrong…Patrick is disguised as the nanny, trying to recruit the young chap into showing him how to work the manuel gearbox fitted to his new Renault wagon pictured in the background…
There there Senior, we both know what the true story is here…
Richard, Johnny, let me explain how it went, aye I’m that wee lad, was just looking at that Renault, and was quite shocked to find that Fergie just popped up out of the blue and dressed up for some reason as me nan… Now if that alone wasn’t enough to haunt me for the rest of my life, he started talking about auto 'boxes and such… Utter ■■■■■■■■ I replied, and that was when he wacked me with his handbag (we’ve got the pic as proof…)
When Fergie takes his much needed medication he’s doing just fine, but when he doesn’t… last time he didn’t took his pills he was spotted in Amsterdam on one of the annual canal parades singing his heart out to the Scissor Sisters…

Good thoughts. A 1990 Mk1 Magnum, when it was called an AE500, and Magnum was just the reference to the high spec cab trim (or whatever. I can’t remember properly).

It looks to be a “phase 2”, started doing international work with such a Scanny with the flat roof, 380hp, 8-speed gear box, but pulled like a train!
Not sure if that’s the new “classic to be” though, the 3-series had it, everything that came out after that isn’t worth keeping…imho of course
A Magnum or AE or whatever it’s name is would be something for Dave Junior to collect Senior! Maybe you can persuade him
Ever driven one of those?

I’ve driven a fair few, but not for a living, just road testing…

Oh Patrick, what have you done now. So, the cat is out of the bag now. Never thought Fergie was like that. But there you go, life is full of surprises. [emoji3][emoji3]

How was the handling? Seemed that after a few years of service the cab always rested to one side…
