Summary
Super reliable, great condition throughout, obviously some age related wear. She is still ultra shiny but her age shows in the external paintwork around the edges, though with a simple respray along the bottom skirts and around the ramp she would look fabulous again and be worth a lot more money.
We have owned her as a horse lorry for 22 years and always been stored inside. There are so many extras that makes this well built Scania stand out, she has years of great service to give to someone that wants this vast specification on a limited budget.
