Can't go wrong with a Scania, just make sure it has had a good remap as have seen a few that have eroded the piston tops

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
