A V8 Scania brought some stone into our gravel pit today and apart from the V8 badge, there wasn’t a hint of bling. No bird dropping style window stickers, no “V8 530” or whatever scribbled onto the rear cab wall and not even a “Super” badge on the grille. I’m shocked to admit the door windows were completely frilly curtain-free.
Anyone else experienced this phenomena?
A rare beast indeed . Less is more and all that …
Same phenomina as genuine C63 Mercedes cars, usually debadged for stealth…its the lookalikes that get blinged up with V8 badges and Halfords exhausts.
Awaits a paradigm shift or a England football final win, all rare beasts
Its a 143 it wouldn’t have needed anything for anyone in the know to know what it was can tell at tickover

have to say that without a photo i’m struggling to believe a word of that 
Why do Scanias have “Super” on them? Why not other Jim Bowen catchphrases like “Great” and “Smashin”■■?
I doubt “Let’s have a look at what you could’ve won!” would fit on a grille though…

Because scanias are super 
When scania launched the lb series the 80 and 110 was avalible as a turbo or non turbo engine. The ones baged super were turbo models. All 140s were turbocharged so all 140s were baged super.

It would, but the picture of a DAF would have been seen as advertising a competitor. 
Out at black and inter red…you get nowt for two int bed…unless its a scania…
Anyway, the Scania mentioned was on loan from the museum of NOWT BLING…and as said,a very rare breed, thank god for the curator.

It is like the drivers who have those mini football scarves in the window with DRIVER on them, or them old folk who stick a symbol of a fish on their car.
You sometimes see Scania Vabis badges on them too, but not just Scania, even Volvo drivers sometimes get the urge
I have seen F89 badges stuck on the side of an FH12. WHY?

I’ve seen “Leyland” in place of the usual Daf CF badging, and actually looked quite good but a bit pointless.
Also seen “F7” badging on an FE; I think that’s just the driver being embarassed.
I’ve seen a daf 95xf with leyland across the front in big letters like what was on the marathon. Why
I saw a Leyland Comet tipper last year, funny but it looked like a 55 or whatever the pre LF P.O.S. was called
Until we sold it last year, our 02 plate ‘spare’ unit was a 164 V8 480 6x2 tag axle. Bog-standard R cab, no tarting at all

Should’ve called it a Freighter; Wouldn’tve been far wrong then.
A message also for those who remove the MAN badges and replace them with E, R, and F letters bought from diy shops: It looks tacky (look on Ebay for proper ERF badges) and even more daft when you leave the D20 and Common rail badges on.

When I was at Roadways, my ERF was like that, and it was an ERF, not a MAN - even though they’re the same thing - as it had an ERF steering wheel and gearstick too, including the lovely easy shift
