Still a few about!
Those have survived well-25+ years old and not a sign of cab rot.
The white 401 is a day cabbed 6x4 unit it was new to BNFL to transport spent nuclear fuel Mick Thorpe bought 2 of them he sold one last year to some one in Shropshire
Thanks for the info.
Did it go to the Edwards?

Ok - cheers - prob not them then!
They would be putting it back to work…
I was never a fan of the SA brand at all, but I have to say that it would be a great shame if without the people who have lovingly restored these vehicles, they were allowed to rot. Great pics all

thanks mate I’ve always liked them even the DAF cabbed Strato I drove I’ve never liked Swedish lorries I always thought they were overrated but that’s my own personal opinion
Tom Riding ran hundreds of them.
They were easy to maintain with parts easily interchangeable over different models.

I always thought the cabtec strato on paper should have been a superb truck with the ■■■■■■■ fuller rockwell driveline , but was never as popular as the ‘inferior’ 95 , was this because of the typical british dealer support ,backup etc? I always noticed the strato cab always seemed to suffer tinworm more then the 95 
Definateley a backward step when they changed to the iveco cab IMO .

What a cracking restoration Gazsa401…Well done. What horsepower is your Gardner?
