I had heard that HCW were restoring an old 141 V8, but had never seen it until I came accross this pic on a dutch site. It looks like a tidy job. Anybody know anything about it?
This one brings back memories - my mate at school lived opposite the end of the road where they’re based (grove lane) and we used to look out for them leaving and returning from the yard as kids.
An old pic from HCW site, the livery is slightly different so maybe not the same one:
It was at the Utrecht HH and Mack day last October in Holland. They had it working with an extendable flatbed trailer. I forget what the load was.
There was a Trucking or T&D article on it by Nick Garlick (The driver) recently with several pics from the show, including the Scania.

it was also at crowfield truck show last year (this year end of may bank holiday, in suffolk), not got any pics of it though cos i was away (my mate took it there)
Ithink it will be at Crowfield again this year, i will ask poppet the head fitter on Tuesday morning if i remember. i saw it in Wilsons workshop Saturday with the cab up ,still looking gorgeous.
I thought that trombones were only to be used for indivisible loads when extended?
