As an aside the best 3 series toplines had the 2/3 split bottom bunk with the passenger seat on a full length runners that went to the back wall, well ahead of its time!
I thought all 3 series Topliners had the passenger seat on runners that went to the back of the cab with a LONG handle at the side of the seat?? I had an ‘F’ reg 143 450 Topliner and that had this type of passenger seat.

Great story! Lol! Should have got a pic 
is that the one that got done in spain for no limiter? if so you’re lucky they didn’t do you for overlength, they don’t like all that crap on the front in spain.
I’ve seen them a few times measuring the scandinavians at Irun

this one is 001 its an h reg 113 360
& a couple of Essex boys to finish!
Hi i am new to forum, I was pointed the direction of this site while trying to find info on the Scania Centurion.
My uncle used to own a centurion and trying to re-create this in model form but have very limited info on it as he sold it a good 10 years ago.
I am not sure on the number but the reg was J2BWE ( may have been a private plate) and i am not sure if my uncle was the original owner or not. It was a 6x2 tag with and 143 450 V8.
here is a scanned photo of it
Would anyone know if this still around if it still holds that reg.
Hiya, welcome to the forums! J2 BWE is apparently a ‘Scania flatbed’, and is taxed as a private car. Flatbed may just mean rigid, which i guess would mean it’s still a tractor unit, but not taxed to pull trailers. So sounds to me like it’s a restored show motor or something similar? Maybe someone else has some more information…
Heres the info I found on it:
Manufacturer: Scania
Model: Not available
Year: 1991
Colour: Red
Fuel Type: Diesel
Engine Size (CC): 14200
VIN: Not available
V5C Issued: Not available
So it does look like its still the original truck with that reg.
