Restoration of a vintage Scania L85 truck

At the Scania dealership in Gliwice, just outside Katowice in southwestern Poland, there is one truck that stands out among the rest. It’s not a new generation S-series or a tricked-out show truck, but a pristinely restored 1971 L85 Super with 202 horsepower under the bonnet. The truck is the pride and joy - and perhaps sweat and tears - of Scania service technician Paweł Filipczyk, a 10-year veteran of the Gliwice workshop, who estimates that he’s put 1,500 hours into the truck’s restoration.

It looks amazing for sure! Like it was taken right out of the assembly line at the time! Amazing work!

These where a very common sight even in the late 80's in Sweden especially when it came to road maintenance and snow ploughing.
When these dispensed salt they had like an external hubcap that attached to one of the rear wheels and this drove the salt spreader in the back,

It definitely makes you feel good, when all that hard work to restore it pays off! Pretty sharp lookin Scania!

There are some very beautiful old rigs out there in Europe, hopefully some more get restored. This one is a gem.
