This “summer Scania” is from a place called Grua, 130 km´s north east of Oslo. The text in the light box is the name of the factory they hauled for, it´s an abbreviation of the place and what the factory produced…”spon(plater)” which is the Norwegian word for chip board.

The poor quality makes it look more authentic, and better, in my book

I dont know about “hold back” they nearly wrecked it with petty rules and restrictions, doing away with the second man on drawbars was a giant step for mankind as far as they were concerned !
Not being allowed to sleep in yhe cab,but we all did not having sleeper cabs short trailers small engines the only thing on the wool job was they never bothered you about the height unless you got stuck under a bridge or tipped over, i wonder how much infuence the unions had on the job ?

Can’t say for certain if this is the motor I drove, but most certainly one the motors I drove when I worked for Woods, lovely motor to drive and still a looker.

Hi Bill here,s a photo of a couple of 76s with early cabs but they are sleepers i wonder if they were coach built cabs possibly made in Holland,i think orginally they used the chassis from the bonetted 75 scania and just put an over type cab on them, if you remember they were cramped inside.no room for a telly or microwave ha ha.
They are both Scania-Vabis LV75 developed in Holland, and they were owned by the Swedish state railways. Slab is freely translated “Swedish lorry joint-stock company”. As Bill says, Slab became later Svelast… and today it´s an independent concern named Green Cargo.
Another interesting thing in the photo is that the left one has a plate on the bumper that existed before the TIR-plate

I wonder if the right one not has a cab from Be-Ge, it´s very much alike this Volvo L3851 which I know is a Be-Ge.

I believe as driven by my very good friend John Ball,Graham, got your message, but due to being a “luddite”, made a ■■■■ up of reply!! We lived next door to your gran, in her old house, and I used to slip Rex the odd biscuit! Hope things are good for you, Cheerio for now.
I never knew that was a volvo the only give away would be the rear axle and the diesel tank.
