I drove one of these Scammell Recovery lorries just before my 18th birthday, having joined R.E.M.E.
Territorial Army at the age of 17. Its registration number was 92 BD 80. It had a petrol engine
from Meadows, and on a journey did about 4 mpg, but off road doing recovery work it was 2mpg.
I passed my driving test on an Army vehicle when I was 17 years and 7 months, but I had done
some learning to drive with my Dad from about the age of 14 on his C0-OP Dairy Morris Commercial
3 Tonner when he did some off road deliveries.

Looking at those one- and two-series Freeway Haulage Scanias makes one wonder where the time’s gone! 
I still think of the 142 as a modern truck but that one would be 40 years old this year. The older one would have still been 41, being just a year younger.

They’re both two series, the top one is a 112 and the bottom one a 142.
Sorry for being pedantic.

No, the top one is a 111, the middle one’s a 112 and the bottom one is a 142. Are you looking at the same picture?
