Does anyone remember seeing this lorry? It looks like a factory demonstrator on a “European tour”- Swedish reg, GB trade plates and horsepower in three different languages, just to make sure! The trailer looks like a German specification one to me.

I think I got the picture off one of these pages: mellislastbilar.se/scania/0- … cania2.htm. Change the number 2 in both places and you can see 11 pages of LBs.

Swiss trailer Lanz + Marti.

Well spotted sir. My other deliberate mistake was the Norwegian reg.

How about this one i saw it in Malta 2 years ago…i thought it was new,

Was it in use John? looks a lovely motor, cant say I’ve ever seen one with a sun visor like that one though :confused: very unusual :astonished:

Hiya the Scania was at the Malta truck show…now i may be wrong but a Irish company may of brought it back over
to ireland and resprayed it in their livery…maybe…maybe not.

Love the reg.! looks like a Volvo type sun visor

I know its a restored/show pony but it is nice, very well done & the colours bring back memories!

Those old scanias are lovely looking trucks back in their day they were great they look even better now far better than any 4 series their the dogs dangly bits

That sunvisor looks like a volvo one maybe Scania might take a leaf out of some other companys books and build a retro model like ie.Fiat 500/Beatle/mini/lambretta /vespa/you never know :laughing:

Lovely idea but i dread to think how much they would charge as it would be expensive anyway but at Scania’s prices!

Yes a tidy looking outfit, but the Red should be Silver IMO, mind you the drivers mate looks useful. :wink:
That trailer kind of reminds me of some of those Italian fridge boxes we used to see so often

Yes a real tidy good looking pair of vehicles indeed & with good colour schemes, shame about the advertising hoarding on the roof of the Paynes unit though. :unamused:

It is indeed a stunner- the lorry I mean. The trailer looks like a 50s or early 60s one, but the fridge unit appears to come from a later era. Maybe Harry will know more (see above!). Also, are those running-lights-on-rubber-stalk things typical of early 70s Eurpean vehicles?

It is a shame the Horst Anhalt motor couldn’t have had a retro tank trailer behind it, although that is probably still working.
