Scania 8x4 tippers are fetching absolutely potty money at the moment - there's a real shortage of them. Whatever they CAP at you can ignore, most are way over book at the moment.
Nice truck mate, insulated body, Eminox's and easysheet too

Looking nice mate, I'll consider that cheap as we have a T reg IVECO hrab for sale for £17k which is an absolute shitter.. shame no grab though, but I dare say you don't need one?
Scania Units look the dogs, so nice. Although the FH globe XL's do it for me, immensly high and low at the same time

Nice Scania, prefer the 143 they used to look so good when they were around and the Merc 1840 powerliners
Got a tasty looking T-cab on the industrial estate near me in bright yellow
