A couple of smart older Swedish motors.


Wildlife Scania 143 :exclamation: :laughing:


A couple from Roy AKA Cattle-Wagon-Man’s County.


Two from the late 70’ early 80’s.


A 143 making up the row.

Re: The Hanson 8w, I bet it uses the same fuel as a 400bhp model. Less effort on the engine so more block gearchanges. I know a subbie we use that has an FH420 8w that he had chipped to 510. Same mpg but more power and less gearchanges. He said he has to be careful when empty though, due to wheelspins.


Some of the Bartlett’s line up.

Not far off, go through their every night for work though.


A big lorry from the 1950’s stood next to a much bigger lorry of these days.The Foden would test the mettle of the driver much more than the Scania. :exclamation: :smiley:
