I saw many of these during my days as an army brat in Africa, Germany what great wagons! I just love those old wagons, Antars etc my old man was 3rd Sprockets so had tons of opportunities to see these things in action.
Guys that is turbo charged it's a diesel, the side of the engine has a Cummins shaped C but it just might be part of the casting that looks like a C. Most likely it's a Rolls Royce Eagle diesel. Check it out
Those two are Cummins powered. First one I'm sure is 'Forceful', second one is 'Devils Kazoo' (due to the noise of the Jake Brake) But two of our group members also have Explorers which are powered by RR Eagle Diesels.
All these MAN trucks that are so fantastic learned from uk 🇬🇧 SCAMMEL. they were ahead of there time. It makes me wonder why these companies didn't survive.

Best vehicle I ever drove, thanks for posting Paul, took me back some years.
I love them.... there are a few more videos on my channel. Regards Paul
@@PaulDonovan I've had a look, thanks.
Their designers and engineers just knew. Proper stuff!
agreed !
You have got love the little face of the co-driver, the next generation of MV enthusiasts.
Lol... nice one !! 😎😀👍
I have loved these behemoths since I first saw them as a little kid. Hills of Botley, in Hampshire, had a couple of them.
Scammell I remember my grandad telling me he drove those in Army. He said just driving them was bloody hard work.
I can imagine..... big truck with no power steering. Great looking vehicles though.
@@PaulDonovan they are Paul. Their very visceral looking just that old school mechanical look that’s strangely very appealing💪🏻
@@PaulDonovan They do have power steering 👍
@@scammellman831 ah... thanks for that. Great machines 😎👍
@@PaulDonovan Yeah it was air assisted steering ,, if you listen it`s possible to hear it hissing away . 👍
Such ugly cool looking trucks. Monsters. 😊

You should check out the Mammoth Engesa truck with Boomerang suspension!

Thanks for your comment 😎👍
Beautiful, there was nothing to touch them at the time, I do wonder how many gallons per mile they get (j/k).
lol... 👍
Forgot to mention that the Dinky Toy version of this truck was the beginning of my love of the MV hobby.
I also had that Dinky Toy 👍
Superb vehicles, made when this country was great 😥
I agree with you
So why don't modern trucks use the same system - ?
If it ain't broke, dont fix it - ! 😊
