You can add your own ending to this. The proper one is that they liked it and bought many more.
The first Scania sold in Britain 1967.

Hi Phil Great Picci of The Inter City Volvo Worked for them in the early 70s, don"t suppose u got anymore? Cheers Chris. PS Mind if I use it mate CJA1.I remember regularly going past Neales yard & thought how smart the line up of Yellow Marathon’s was !!
Shame about the checked trousers eh??
Calor took thirteen Trunker II with semi automatic transmissions, which were extremely poor in service, they would not ■■■■■■ the vehicle on downshifts, and as a result the vehicle was driving whilst the driver was braking, and the gearbox ran so hot that spitting on it would sizzle. Another safety problem was that the power take off was rotating all the time making it hazardous to couple trailer air lines. The diaphragms failed with monotonous regularity. They all ended up in the North East where the fleet engineer replaced them with second hand units from leyland octopus chassis from Jimmy Monte dismantlers.
Good man Marcus,top quality again.Keep up the great work.
