IRISH SCANIA V8'S GALORE 1996

Filmed The Hollies A5, BP Truckstop and a small sequence at Hilton Park Services late 1996. The last shots at the Hollies may be 1997. Hope you find these old videos interesting, I am enjoying editing them and i certainly enjoyed filming them back in the day.

Miss the 3 series Scannys, did see lots of then as a kid in the late 90s on a motorway, now there little to none.

Seen one burgundy hanging around the M60, that's about it sadly, although in eastern europe you literally can't miss seeing one, such a shame

[@cmheadbanger]

Rio blyth Sounds like you seen it recently? you won't see another one in a while just R or S models. I think Greece haves a lot of older models, they buy second hand trucks from a different country and drive then over there, same for Russia too.
