I think Eubank has had the 5th wheel coupling removed from his yank truck so he can drive it on a car licence as it now has a payload of 0kg and cant tow anything...... Sounds silly but I think its been reclassified as a car effectively.
Fantastic pics. Ive heard countless stories from old drivers ive met about how great these old machines were....... No power steering, no heaters, no sleepercabs and a top speed of 45MPH Sounds great! Cant help but love them though.

I just cant identify the damn thing, or find any other pics/refs to it. Its startingf to do my head in a bit... LOL to Convoy... Anyone remember Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks? It was a foggy day On the sixth of May In a Scammell hauling bricks; It was just crackin' dawn And I started to yawn 'Cause I couldn't find any nice chicks. I tried Newport Pagnell, Toddington, And even Watford Gap. But after so many eggs, chips, sausage and beans What I really needed was a nap. It's a lonely life truck-driving: But it's better than a bike. 'Cause when you're up in the cab You're the king of the road And it's dead romantic, like? Then I remembered me two-way radio, So I started feelin' better: And I thought "I'll start a convoy: You know, just like that American feller!"

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in

Brilliant thread - although not a trucker I like transport!! anyway back to Europe I've driven both of those types of Scania. Absolutely brilliant vehicles, especially the 142. I've kipped down in those a few times. Very strong cabs, not like todays trucks.

Those Scanias seemed to be everywhere at the time and for years afterwards too.

Voas's new policy of filming drivers on their mobiles was thought by some to be a bit extreme.
