vintage transport

The Scania LBS140, the first European muscle truck in the sixties. The 140 was introduced in 1968 and was powered by a 14 litre V8 rated at 350 HP. This nicely restored Scania drawbar combo is an excellent example of this first super truck.

Voorend Transport owned this DAF 95 350 Space Cab long ago. The DAF 95 was the first truck range equipped with a load of electronics. Though complicated it caused not that many troubles, all other brands followed soon with integrating electronics.

A superb Mercedes drawbar combo loaded with churns. The nice thing about this combo is the matching trailer. It seems to be more difficult to find a period matching trailer or semitrailer than a truck or tractor. Nevertheless, a truck oldtimer is only complete with trailer or semi.

The 2200DKD was powered by the 11.6 litre 6-inline DAF engine. This engine was based on a Leyland DP680 design. The first DAF series did use this Leyland engine. DAF started building its own engines with the smaller DD 575, DA 475 and the DF 615 blocks.

A daycabMAN F2000 Evo tractor hooked to a three axled reefer semi-trailer. The combo was owned by Goes, an old and well established Dutch haulage company. Unfortunately, the story ended badly, Goes went bankrupt a number of years ago.

A nice IFA tipper combo taking part on a parade of Eastern European oldtimers in Werdau (DE). The IFA production started in this town before it was moved to Lichtenfeld. The IFA trucks stopped at 7,5 ton gross weight. The Comecon plan economy didn't allow more for the DDR manufacturer
