Hi Ramone,
The super badge on all the early Scanias indicated that it had the turbocharged engine, this was also denoted in the engine number, i.e.
D8 normally aspirated 8ltr.
DS8 supercharged (the factory called turbo engines supercharged hence the super badge!) these were fitted to the 80 models.
D11,DS11 fitted to the 110’s and the LB76 Vabis.
DS14 fitted to the 140’s
In a picture above was the first demonstrator in the country, still around today LGK 3D.
This was unique, as it was the only one in the country fitted with the earlier DS10 engine,(recognisable by its large dynamo) all subsequent ones having the DS11.
When its original owner (Rounds of Dudley) ran it , they had the then standard dynamo replaced by an alternator.

hiya,
Great stuff Bubbs then you had to spoil it at the end with that b"“”"y horrible 80 thing, you’ll really make me switch off if you produce an f86 another of the horrors I encountered on my way to retirement, sorry sorry.
thanks harry long retired.
What did the Super stand for on the Scania 80 Harry,my dad came off a Mandator in the mid 70`s and got a F86 which he preffered,mind the Mandator had no power steering and had done more mileage than the space shuttle,still pulled better than the F86 but it was cold and noisey
hiya,
The “SUPER"i don’t know why either but it should have preceded c”"p, I always found the Mandator didn’t need power steering they was quite light on the handlebars i loved them and would have preferred to drive a 10 year old one to a brand new 80 thing.
thanks harry long retired.

I knew your answer before you wrote it Harry , driven many Scanias but never driven an AEC , to be fair i`ve never driven a bad Scania but i was told that Harold Woods bought some 80s when my dad worked there and the drivers were as you with their opinion a load of … !!!
With only an 8ltr engine the original Scania 80 was way out of its depth running at 32tons and gave Scania loads of problems.
Running at 28ton or less they were quite reliable.

hiya,
Trev i always thought the 80 things would have been just about right as a six wheeled rigid, i could’nt have thought they would have been much good even downgraded to 28 tons, but thats just me i did not like them.
thanks harry long retired.

Harry,Glass Glover had an 81 four wheeler with auto box NKU 583R IIRC.It usually ran solo but sometimes with a drag on nights,what a pig that was.Mind you heater,mirror and cab light was ok

hiya,
Yes Chris the shed light was good great for doing log sheet alterations the heater was good and the seeability bit was fine but the rest was “c”“p”, i’m just pleased i can agree with someone on it’s only merits.
thanks harry long retired.
Hello again,that was good info Pat,allways wondered what happened to PHK170M…it was such a nice looking 140,she wouldn’t have been out of place in your fleet,perhaps you supplied bits to keep her on the road. .
Dear old Harry,that little Scania 80 put you off the model forever didnt it,for me I loved them but then I came off a knackered KM Bedford still heres some old brochures from days gone by probably some of these lorries Harry had and liked them Heres a question,what happen to Athersmiths?,perhaps Dennis knows.
Bizarrely, Atkinson chose to illustrate the new Defender in 1970 with a picture of the Mk.1 cab, and which had ceased production 18 months earlier. What was Frank Whalley thinking?

Nice Pics of Jubilee Transport, does anyone know if they owned LFD 552L (SCANIA LB 110 daycab) as I now have it & dont have any info of who owned it new. Any info would be grateful.

If you want any opened up let me know
Cheers Bubbs,
That is only the third Borderer Mk II I’ve ever seen wearing a chrome bumper, the first being Dennis’s Bewick TEC204M, the second being another Bewick Atki which had the same bumper fitted, presumably after TEC204M had departed.
I wonder if they were inspired by Lenny Valsler’s bling?
@ Sandie snowie,
I don’t remember J+S Hemmings (jubilee transport ) having any Lreg 110’s as after the lb76 models they had 80/81 models. I worked at the Scania agents at the time that was sold but can’t place the reg number, most likely candidates would be Priests transport from Wordsley or Fosters of Dudley both would have an FD dudley reg.

Doesn`t it look good with the Seddon Atkinson emblem on the door (not)
