Brilliant video Paul, i,v just come across the podcast you and Mat Ireland do with Dougie. I only went looking for it after Mat mentioned it in his last video, anyway i started listening this week and love hearing about your travels👍
My father used to drive a 6x2 500 v8, badged 2550 I think? with the Eurocab. I remember the standard cab was more desirable for export because the Eurocab extension was fibreglass. Thought it was an iconic truck.
@@keithmartley6927 All correct there Keith. The Eurocab was really only a stop gap for two to three years so Mercedes Benz could offer a high roof until the Actros was launched. The big advantage of fibreglass is that they didn't rust and a Eurocab is the sought after model now.
@@Paulo660 hindsight is a marvellous thing. There has been a lot of machinery exported in the last few years that will be sought after in time to come. Granted everything has a period where it us surpassed or the technology is dated and its not attractive at that moment but unfortunately modern cars and trucks will be hard survive to a classic status with the amount of electronics and Ecu's. You would need the help of a master tech and deep pockets to revive 1.
Love 1 of those ,my brother used to drive them in early to mid 90s loved the sound of them

SK серия конечно легендарная, но почему черный дым?
yes because the exhaust is tuned
