Finding homes for some out-of-the ordinary 18-tonners is ail in a daVs w rk at West Pennine Scania...
dozen used day-cab 18-tonne P94s have presented Stuart Wolstenholme, with a real disposal challenge. But Wolstenholme, used truck sales manager at the Middleton, Manchester branch of Seattle dealership West Pennine, expects to find homes for them.
"They've come from a Manchester paper company where they were on a guaranteed buy-back," he explains. "Their 26ft bodies have curtains on one side and are solid alloy on the other." Evidently the Scani as were used to make deliveries to shops and offices, and they've all got column tail-lifts.
"We've sold four so fan They date back to 2000, and are all on X and W plates,-Wolstenholme reports.-They've done 160,000-270,000km, all have 220hp engines, and we're ask ingi11,500 for the X-plated onesi suspect that in most cases the buyer will remove the existing body and fit something else."
They are far less of a problem to Wolstenholme than the attitude used buyers are adopting towards semi-automatic gearboxes:a potential problem,given that such boxes will he appearing in increasing numbers of second-hand trucks.-Customers still don't know what they're about," he explains. "As a consequence, we're going to be holding a couple of open days in order to show them." •
