Everyone loves a limited edition truck!

Here’s a rundown of the mouth-watering specification:

V8 engine (well, obviously)… the brochure and press release doesn’t actually say if there’s a choice of outputs. It’s a 650 in the pic, but there are of course 520, 580 and 730 options – we’ll have to update you on that one!

Individual numbering

V8 Styling package which includes chrome trim and a rectangular exhaust pipe

Three exciting colours: Ruby Red, Arctic Silver and Sapphire Blue

Chrome air horns

Special badges on and in the cab

Special badges on the hub caps

Special badges on the mudflaps

Exclusive V8 puddle lights

Embossed seats with red stitching

All the usual goodies including microwave and coffee maker

Every owner will be presented with a specially-commissioned numbered certificate commemorating their purchase of a 50th anniversary Scania V8.

Vincente Connolly, UK Sales Director for Scania (Great Britain) Limited said: “Since its debut in 1969, the Scania V8 has been turning heads around the world.  Today, it enjoys legendary status among operators and drivers alike and is regarded by many as the King of the Road. In the UK, the V8 is an integral part of our success story representing a significant proportion of our sales – especially to long-haul operators, particularly those in Scotland and Northern Ireland.  We are therefore delighted to be celebrating the engine’s golden anniversary with this unique limited edition, and I would encourage anyone interested to contact their local Scania dealer as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”

With a specification like this, it’s clear that these special editions won’t be around for long and are bound to be incredibly sought after.
