he has suggested i have a think about what i would offer and let him no so can think it through.

its a M plate if remember correct 450 scania centurion cant remember number , red , 600+km , looks a well looked after unit and chaps in garage reckon its spot on as my inital thoughts was maybe its broken.

I sold a P reg 450 for 12 grand in late 06, but that was mint & MOT’d etc.

I’d offer him 2 grand & see what happens, you never know… you can always raise your offer :wink:

The Centurian bit (if indeed it is) may push up the value, but it won’t really have much of an impact until it’s a proper vintage lorry, which won’t be for another 5 or 6 years at least, then it would have to be 100% authentic to make it different from a run of the mill 143.

Whatever, I reckon it’s the best lorry ever made, Centurian or not.

Hi

Scania Centurion 002 has recently been sold for more than £14,000 on ebay.

Seems too new as a M reg to be a Centurion as someone mentioned.

Regards

It’s not a Scania Centurian but it might of interest if you’re in the market for something on those lines.

Or this if you’re after a classic, but I reckon that’s going to be big money.

That’s a dog then, it was never a good motor & dave G never looked after it :unamused:

Either yr mistaken with the reg number or you’ve just slagged off my mates motor. The reg is actually N655FKJ. (I suspect yr memory is slightly out)
