Your not wrong there, remember coming down the M6 on Sundays in me F10 doing 65+ and those boys would come by me like I was stood still

One of Liffey Meats,taking an early bath.
i know truckerash started the 43’ers but what about the 142’s wernt these groundbreakers for some of you older drivers ?
How good was the wind of change from the outgoing LB cabbed 1 series to the newer 2 series ? after all VOLVO had the F10’s & 12 running for a few years by the time the 2 series made it’s debut ,would love to see some pics gents , all the more if some are still on the daily grind
as far as i know this one is semi retired & pulls vintage trucks to shows but does occasionally pull a low loader for recovery work

This 142 was ran by my dad for 13 years before being kept for shows by me.
like the black & silver mate , might have passed him on the A39 down to watchet / minehead paper mill
No probs Dieseldogsix. Always nice to see pics no matter how many times they appear 
This is a great thread so I suppose it’s about time I put a load more pics on here
I remember when the first 2 series’s demonstrators came to Scania HQ at Milton Keynes in 1982. I was round there like a shot with the camera…
M&B Transport from Northampton were reputed to be the first co. in the country to put one on the road. In fact they had two arrive together…“Spud” and Maureen were the lucky drivers.
I got to drive one as well for Peter Roff. WHAT A MACHINE; That V8 sounded soooo good!
Here’s a few more early 142’s to whet your whistles…enjoy!

Were they delivered with the gallon oil can

Yeah, well spotted very good 
I think there were a few oil leaks with Spud’s previous motor - an aging DAF 2800 and he wasn’t taking any chances.
Note the side air kit; Shame they fitted the kit on after the stripe was applied…attention to detail
I would like to post this picture to the memory of Graham Mann, Keith Simpson & Mel Carr who all loved the 142 RIP Guy’s
sorry if you have seen this picture before in other threads Cheers Mel
