No idea whose that was but I broke up a similar cabbed Scania can’t remember where it came from though sorry. Could have been the same one it too was fitted with a series two sun visor !
Any regrets Pat?

Hi Newmercman
Yes sure I do tink about it but it was how I earn’t a living and who would have thought that there would be that much nostalgia now?
Regards Pat
To be fair, how many operators would have thought to “salt away” a lorry when it reached the end of its productive life? Not many. In the ‘80s, the breakers’ yards would have been full of million-mile-plus 141s with rotten cabs.
Can you think of any modern lorries which may be worth hiding away in a dark corner of a shed? I would suggest an early (2000 or 2001) 164. At this age, it would be just knackered enough not to be a reliable tool, but still within the bounds of cheap restoration, in 10-20 years’ time.

The big “m” on this drawbar stood for Malmros, a Swedish shipping company at that time, and the drawbar itself was from Helsingborg in the south of Sweden. This was before AGA became the owner of Frigoscandia.

Thanks for the information Stellan , you never stop learning in this job!
I have never really been into British trucks and lorries before I found this forum. So I have a lot to learn, and if I can contribute with any knowledge about the Swedish vehicles it´s only fun
