143M T-Series manual V8 Scania with stacked exhausts .. they just don't make trucks like this anymore. It's almost like a unicorn, too legendary to exist in the real world.
Best bonneted truck I ever drove still have fond memories. Lots of power back in the day, couple of companies would put RoadRanger 13 speeds in them.

Hi 👋 Stavros Thankyou for your tour of the Scania V8 .. With it's work In Australia 🇦🇺 Then It's new career in Ireland 🇮🇪..1.200.000.0 Kilometers traveled it's ready to keep working hard for many years yet ! Your Enthusiasm ((😄)) Is refreshing.. GodBless
In Australia we call them "bonneted" trucks but commonly known as the gumboot. Notice the large turntable, that will be 90mm pin for triple road train work. The towing eye on the rear frame is for moving dolley's around. A dolley connects two or more trailers together. Bonnets are preferred as there is more between the driver and what ever road kill they hit.
Best truck ever to be manufactured drove one myself in the ninetees.T143H Topline.The day your potence fails start up one of these and your problem is gone.
My dad used to have something like this, T142H, but dump truck. He used to do roadworks. This was actually my very first driving experience with a V8 and I was only 14 years old back then. Still love the old T-cab Scania, it gave me plenty of good memories. Even driving with this still in ETS2
What a super truck these were,fantastic build quality and design and their performance and reliability is beyond question. Scania were and still are the Rolls Royce of the truck industry,they are the bench mark other truck makers should aim for. Their not cheap to buy but they do what it says on the tin and are a great investment, they are warm and comfortable in winter and cool in summer and everyone I have driven has been top notch for reliability, if you can afford it always buy Scania.
Gareth Ifan .You and me are on the same page with Scania, their probably the best truck in Europe without a doubt, the V8 is the best V8 made I have driven Mercs, Deutz and Seddons with that Perkins 540 V8 which should have had zips on the cylinder heads because of the number of head gaskets they blew and none of them had any balls on hills. None of that Nonsence with Scania they pull like a train and have reliability like no other.
SuperOMARKO , Never been in truck sales in my life but have driven for a few company's who have operated Scanias and that's where I have gained all my experience from, I was an owner driver who foolishly bought a Leyland which forced me out of business with its unreliability and costs of repairs.
hi starvos i have the 142 H T line v8 scania tractor unit 97 ex aussie line haul brought here in New Zealand as line haulage.3 owners before me have owned it for 10 years now in restoration mode great truck beautifull sound the old v8,and spacious cab, will put it on you tube when finished.thanks tom,
The digits 14 in the model number stays for the 14.2 (not 14.5) litre V8, from the 140 in 1969 until the 144 in around 2000, when it was replaced with the 15.6 litre DC16 engine in the 164 model.
They were quite popular in Australia in the 1980s - 1990s because they weren’t all that expensive, but they died out after that because they weren’t all that reliable with the weights we haul over here in Australia and parts were expensive. Everyone called them the “footy boot” because they looked like a football boot I suppose. You do see the very occasional one still working so I don’t know what happened to the rest of them, maybe they ended up in Ireland lol. All our trucks over here have heaps of fuel and bull bars and no tachographs. You can tell it once pulled roadtrains because of the dolly pull on the back, probably the truck was rated for two trailers @ 79 tonnes GCM.
gm16v149 I think you got things the wrong way round, they were probably expensive, they are a manufactured Truck, not a kit truck like the American brands, and sold in very small numbers due to small population of Australia, a small dealer network. Scania are known world wide as the bench mark in Quality and durability.
@@gm16v149 Maybe Scania sent the Monday morning built trucks to Australia, ROW got the quality trucks. Russia built the Lada for 30 years? Russians swear by them.
Some scania genuine parts are insanely expensive. i work at a scania dealer as a practician and a repair kit for a retarder costs around 500 usd, and the repair kit is only a bunch of gaskets and other minor stuff
Funny! Before he even said it was originally sold in Australia i just thought to myself how it looked very distinctively Aussie set up. Funny where stuff ends up. Nice to see it back here again
Not it’s not, it’s a Australian T-Series, but if you are interested for this truck, you can drive in India 🇮🇳 or South Africa 🇿🇦 which is a Right Hand Drive truck. Expect from Australia 🇦🇺 to UK 🇬🇧 and Ireland 🇮🇪. I am from India 🇮🇳 and I love ❤️ this truck
SCANIA are super quiet... you would be in heaven if you love the sound of this truck and you came to Australia where most to all trucks sound gutsy as this one.
Was gonna say that would have come from Australia - the dead giveaway for me was the rubber mudguards over the drive axles! The Off/On switch would be for the driving lights on the bullbar
I drive right now a 1992 143H with no engine brake (its damage) and without retarder. Still working in Chile. The sound it's amazing. I hope could drive an S580 to fell real power.
You thank us for wacthing your video, and we thank you for such amazing content, love to watch your reviews... Of course the old Scania sounds better, as you said, due the new regulations, the new trucks are sounding quieter, it sucks dude...
Hi Stavros I am new to your channel. Top quality video! Back where I came from (Brazil) the Scania 111 , 112, 113 142 still active on our motorways. I grew up watching these giants flying over the asphalt near my house. I am not a professional driver but I love trucks. Back home we say that if you are a professional driver or have a great passion for trucks.... You don't have blood in your veins.... You have DIESEL. Keep up the good work.
These trucks were known as the 'Gumboot' Scanias here in Australia. There was also a few customised daycabs back in the day with big aftermarket bunks.
beautiful 14,2 litres v8.max 530hp..old beast for australian market...donaldson airfilter,double diff with steel leafspring.rear axles is on highway type 11,5 mtons/axle...fender is rubber...
At 2.37, it is not a tow hook. In Australia, you use that as a Dolly hook up. A dolly is a cut in half tractor unit with a long bar to hook up to either the tractor unit or to another trailer to produce a road train
Affectionately known here in Oz as ‘Gumboots’ or ‘Shopping Trolley’s’ for their shape. Used to have a client who swapped the direct Scania box out for a 14speed OD Spicer that also had 3.02 diffs.... MASSIVE set of legs on her!!
What a truck wonderland there is.. Have you heard of an old Mitsubishi Fuso V8 engines? They sounds good too.. Fitted on older trucks and buses in the 80's till 90's..
🚛Greetings Stavros, i really enjoy the videos. Good quality and very professional made, well done & keep up the good work on the truck videos. Best regards from Denmark.🚚
Ozzy spec Scania on Irish roads would be sight to see, compared to the Euro trucks they run over there, can remember 143's running interstate down the east coast and across to the west, love em. But the Mack V8 with straight pipes sounds better.
I cannot help but love trucks with a bonnet, the view out of the windscreen must be like nothing else. What a shame that the last of them, the 4 series Scania T cab, has long vanished from production.
I must be a North American truck driver when I laughed when he said "you have your long gear stick there". That's a short-throw shifter over here. You have to practically sit on the floor to use one, lol.
The V-8 Macks and Scanias were a lot similar in ways. The 'T' favors the Mack 'R' model but the king was the Supperliner. That is a SWEET truck and did you see the economy range? Just puttering along. NOTHING like a V-8 sound in anything. An Aussie said the stacks were THUMPING! Fine description. Thanks, Stavros!
The T-Series could have been easily sold in America to those with conventional addict and cabover hater. Those Scania V8 can easily kick Cummins N14 in the arse
The metal cranking sound of the old Scania engines is unforgettable. More vintage truck tests are wanted indeed.
I used to drive a 143 _450 for 6 years doing Italy and Spain Portugal Germany Belgium France.best truck of its day.
Reliable?
Love the old sound, it still gives me goose bumps, it's the sound of raw power.

You can import an older Scania if they are over 25 Years of age.

530 hp in 1985...(if you got the money for it)
These 143m Scanias, Mack V8, and cat C15 are the best sounding truck engines of all time.
Damn those old V8,s sounds so good. Nothing beats a Scania V8.
That T is definitely what a real truck should sound like

T143M . M - Class suspension was 85 tonne rated . Road-Train Double , not triple . 143H had the Heavy rear end .

We are fitting a new 730 to my old girl
Man this looks more better than the newer scanias
SCANIA are super quiet... you would be in heaven if you love the sound of this truck and you came to Australia where most to all trucks sound gutsy as this one.
My favourite truck of all time ,love the T143!!!
Which country you are from?
👍 The last real Scania I bougt a new one in 1996 as well.
See now, that's the T-Series I subscribe to
I love that model of scania, looks bloody brill imo
The 450 ... the best they ever did🥰
They where the best they built
I live in Tennessee, USA. I really like your vids. Keep up the good work.
Was gonna say that would have come from Australia - the dead giveaway for me was the rubber mudguards over the drive axles!

Beautiful twin pipes on a beautiful truck
i love the 143t's sound.
Was thinking in the thumbnail pic, it looked like something we'd have here in Australia with that big alloy bar. turns out i wasn't wrong!
Ive waited a long time for this one 👍
We need a road test! This what a real TRUCK should be. What a absolute beast!
Lovely old truck
The 141 - 142 - 143 serie's where the best Scania's they made.
The old V8 Mack trucks sound awesome going along the road they have a very distinctive sound 👍🇦🇺
R401?(the inline 6 ones)
I just love the sound of 143m, lion sound
I had 113 M in the USA love tha truck
Just like the way you explain everything in easy to understand language Stavros, so that we can all follow what it’s all about.
I drive right now a 1992 143H with no engine brake (its damage) and without retarder. Still working in Chile. The sound it's amazing. I hope could drive an S580 to fell real power.
best noise in the world
i love the v8 diesel sound makes me wish we still used them in canada and the usa. but a straight piped inline 6 sounds great too hahah
Funny thing is how lower spec engines were an inline 6 anything above 400hp is a v8
I’d say that one was a tow truck and probably running more than the 400hp too. That’s my dream truck.
Scania and Volvo torpedo nosed trucks in Australian trim is just so cool.

This truck was a success here in Brazil.
It would be fun if you got the opportunity to revisit the 143 when it gets taxed
Carsten Langbo Yes, hopefully 👍
To think if Scania never pulled from the US when they were here we could have at least had these today
Wonderful Truck&Sound! Thanks for all your videos and keep on your really good work! Like your explanations of all buttons etc. 👍
