Bye Eric,
The smallest Scania with 4 cylinders engine.
Just found this on Youtube:
The cabs of the lorries mostly appear not to have much rot in them- what a lot of wasted opportunities for restoration projects. Can anyone spot any rarities?

Hey Anorak, that was the same in our scrapyards in the '60’s '70’s '80s and even the '90’s,but then in a jump everything was gone by law under pressure of green activists. And now what stayed costs as gold.
Here is nowadays a 5/6 year old with about 800 000 km on the clock cheaper as a rotten F88/110 and so on.

Think they had the first 18 in the country 6 each.

Bill told me that the first one he saw, belonged to British Ropes in Doncaster, and that’s what set him off looking at the Vabis

Of course LGK 3 D was the first in the country but stayed as a demo for quite a while, the first one sold and put on the road at B+W belonged to Partridge steels at Pleck ,Walsall. this was soon followed by British ropes,J+S Hemmings, Sammy Williams, Bowkers, Jamesons etc. these were all 67 E reg’s.
Some of the earliest 6 wheel units went to RAH transporters, Beck and Politzer and Joseph Foulkes.

Gaffers never told the truth “eh” They always had to be the first on the block.

It’s all a long time ago now, I know LGK always get mentioned as the first in the country but I’m quite sure Reliable Vehicles in Scotland also had a 66 D reg demo, I don’t know where that ended up and I would imagine many Scottish hauliers had early LB’s Hugh Cleland from Stepps certainly had some.
Some interesting adaptations of Scania bus chassis on here:

Effluent service,s from Macclesfield had a Scania Vabis artic tanker.think it was based around Lacaster area■■?. Also I think Graveson skip wagon’s from Carnforth had some.Scania Vabis .Talking 1967 ish
It gets more intriguing…
As far as I know, the 1967-74 engine was rated at 250bhp to BS141Au, although several specifiactions give it 256bhp. I always assumed that this was the DIN70020 figure, but Tiptop’s previous post gives the lie to this! 256bhp is the SMMT 159 number, using imperial horses, so it seems.
The torque figures for the R06 and R07 versions are all over the place. How can both versions have similar torque figures to SMMT159- 708 and 710lbft (albeit at different speeds), while giving similar torque to two completely different standards- DIN70020 and SAE? Maybe the DIN 70020 figures are gross, although I thought DIN 70020 was a net standard. It seems a little unusual that all of the DIN figures are about 10% bigger than the SMMT ones, suggesting that there was some clause in 70020 which permitted the disconnection of the fan/water pump or other ancillaries. I give up.
I have seen the 111 quoted at 296bhp before, but assumed this was some gross figure. Here is the specification for the 1975 111- 276bhp to good old BS141Au:
I am now about to roadtest a 500ml bottle of Fullers 1845, which is 6.3% abv. Beer is easy to understand.

Hey, sorry if I did destroy your enjoing Fuller RTO 1000 input torque 8series with 45 speeds , cheers
Confusing to see that there was an DS11LB09 too, but think it compares a bit with our DS11 LB02 about torque but with 296 DIN from the new 110 which was than a compleet new engine, Block, heads to overcome overheating and so on.
BUT why are we doing that ever and ever again about engines which have earned their money twice or three times over the years 
Is it still a hobby or already an obsession of one or (two old■■?) conservatives.
Now my Ricard is downed I can take my Wodka .
Bye Eric,

The Effluent services 76 Vabis used to come in to the agents for repairs now and again, we all used to avoid it like the plague it blooming well stunk to high heaven !
Graveson’s had some as did Woodhouse from that area.
hey, what me Always has wondered is that Volvo As Scania never offered faster diff ratios because of the so low 32.5 ton limit in Britain,we did easily 10 ton + without hassle. Even not to think that it was made for 48/52 tonnes on way use.
Good night Eric,
Evening all, well Gentlemen, as we “Black Country men” are apt to say…this thread is becoming one for the “rivet counters”. So before we loose ourselves in learned arguments about the colour of the crank shaft machine operators underwear, or the thickness of the rubber mat on the 67 LB76 floor, (passenger side), perhaps a small seasonal question would be appropriate…
Launched one Christmastide…
Which Scania lorry was fitted with a Volvo cab?
In which market was this vehicle available?
And why was it so equipped?
A couple of clues…Birmingham and Lyon were in close collaboration…and the Thames Trader was a very popular choice…
I decided yesterday to finally sell my LB 76, today I took her out of the barn, and a quick “blast” along a mud strewn lane…led to a two hour jaunt…back to the farm, washed off, leathered, concern at the growth of rust, (never a problem in Bordeaux)! and back into the warm snug barn.
At dinner tonight, my long suffering wife said, “where will you advertise her”?..Never, I replied…it`s a love affair, I finally realised it today…
Dinner was eaten in silence!!!
Bon chance mes braves…
Cheerio for now.
