Congratulations, you are about the 13th owner of this truck. That yellow plate with BR-HZ-47 is the Dutch license plate (NL = Netherlands). I can send you the Dutch history of the truck, it is a 2.5 MB pdf file. Those RDW papers you found were the last government inspection report. From 2009 tot 2015 this truck was used to transport fair attractions. If you want a real cool Scania, try to find a Scania Longliner. It has a kind of apartment on board.

Dang 530 pretty good for that little truck

A tip about tipping the cab: Always remove all objects in the back of cab. Be sure the doors on the cabinets on back wall is secured. The cab tilts almost 85 degrees! Almost vertical!. Everything inside the cab WILL fall down onto the front window... (don't ask how I know...) AND the first time tipping the cab : it's always scary when the weight of cab tilts over the tippingpoint. This happens at around 70 degrees. So the last 15 degrees the cab is "freefalling". There is nothing you can do to stop it when it first goes over. A lot of weight on theese top-line cabs.

Congrats on becoming the new owner of this legendary beast, and let's hope you give it the TLC and respect it needs and deserves. The very first truck i drove a few days after passing my HGV thirty years ago was a Scania 143M 450 V8, i had a few fights with the gears finding my way around the range change and splitter but we didn't take long to become very good friends, and let me tell ya, she used to pull like a freight train and the growl coming out of those twin chrome stacks was awesome. Hope you keep us updated on everything and enjoy✌

I'm subscribing because I finally found a US channel that knows a real truck when they see one. I'm an ex UK trucker that drove one of these beasts for years and I've never found a US truck to even compare with a Euro style machine. All the things on it are light years ahead of anything we had here in 96. I moved to Vegas in 98 so this is one of the last ones I would've driven in Europe. Good luck with it and I can't wait to see how much fun you have with it.

Cool to see another Scania in the US. It used to be a truck from a famous Belgium trucking company called Ronny Ceusters, it was a famous show truck that time. They only used the fifth wheel. After that it was sold to a fairground company in the Netherlands called Vermolen. They put the frame on the chassis to put a sleeping box on it and tow their attraction at once.

Really amazing to see this semi truck over in The States now, I remember this unit from the yearly fairground nearby in the 2010s. Vermolen is a Dutch family active in the travelling fairground business for more than a century and they own quite a lot of rides ranging from the nostalgic carrousel to modern adrenalin rides. They travelled to fairgrounds all over the Netherlands but also Belgium, Germany and even further away. The truck is rough looking now, but I don't think it deteriorated that much when it was in the Vermolen family, the owners of fairground rides do care very well for their trucks, they were their shop window. Give it some care and TLC, getting the parts may be hard in North America.

Oh, and by the sound of it: this will be an "open" exhaust. Sounds great, as Scania V8 always sounds great.

Old Ceusters transport at the origin and after that he went to Netherlands and USA, a real legend than you have now in your hand for some truck fans here in West Europe 🤩

Greetings from Denmark, That is a real Euro truck, we got plenty of those Scania V8's here. But a small correction our long hauls here in Europe are done with 5 wheelers, they are not rare. The dedicated fixed trucks also have a longer wheelbase. The short tractors without 5 wheels are usually used for carnivals, traveling amusement parks and circuses to pool around caravans and equipment. The front trailer latch also suggests this had been a carnival tractor. ( looking more in dept I see the sticker on the side: "Vermolen Amusement" Yep no doubt that is a carnival tractor )

It was a Dutch truck used to get from town to town with the stuff form the fair. awesome truck we see trucks like that one here all the time 👍🏻

There are a lot of lobster boats running around up north with Scania’s in them. I’ve only ever worked on the old Yanmar/Scania 710hp inline 6 and those engine were bulletproof. The new common rail engines look to be the same.

If your gonna tilt the cab open the Grille up so you don't rip it apart. I used to work on them.

I love the sound of the V8 Scania open exhaust. Awesome! There's some here in Canada, so I'm pretty sure you can locate parts for them in Florida. I wouldn't be too rough with it though, until you figure out how and where to get replacement parts.

You need to use the clutch every time dude! Euro trucks has no gear gouverneur. It's all manual laubour. No wonder you don't get it in gear properly! Those gearboxes is silky smooth to operate when you do it properly. Greetings from a norwegian.

As in sure many people have already pointed out, the majority of our trucks DO have 5th wheels on them, this truck was what you'd call a showman's truck (alteast in the UK) you can haul loads in configurations that aren't usually legal, but for circuses/fairgrounds, they can obtain a licence/permit (I believe) that allows them to bypass that. Usually you'd have 1 of 2 configurations of trucks and trailers 1. A semi truck unit with a 5th wheel and a trailer 2. A semi box truck with a nearly equal length trailer pulled by drawbar or dolly (Both of these configurations being limited to a length just under 19 metre's, around 62 feet) The picture you showed of it driving in Europe is close to the 2nd configuration in setup, but alot longer, because of the showman's load he is hauling. Just to go off on a tangent, showman's trucks are some of the only examples of more than one trailer being hauled in the UK, it's usually something like a truck with a box on the back, pulling a ride, then pulling a caravan, which is a cool sight to see when usually we're limited to a just under 19m configuration for both of our configurations.

there is a 3rd type thats similar to the semi box truck. its a truck with a container chassis installed on it that takes containers or special swap bodies that fit on this chassis. most of the time they also have a trailer that does the same. thats the more common one if you see a semi box truck with a trailer. real semi box trucks with a fixed box usually are smaller 12t trucks like the scania p250 or the mercedes atego. they also tend to not use trailers as much

Bruce you are a legend sounds amazing dude I see that many Scania V8 in Britain they are amazing and the sound with the straight pipes I’m buzzing for you dude also the yellow number plate at the front shows a NL in the blue bit is that the truck is from the Netherlands don’t sell it make it look like new with stacks and tune it up 👍🏻

Bruce has learned a LOT about Scanias since he bought this one. It's funny to watch this which is his first Scania video.

Scania v8 allways sounds good, here in Denmark we have lots of them, at the night I can hear them pulling away from an nearby steel factory, It's music to my ears.

Hey I used to help build carnival rides with Vermolen, thats funny! Enjoy the Scania, I love these trucks!

One of the best trucks you can get. Don’t break it, because they are an absolute fortune in parts. And just FYI, 90% of the charts in the UK or fifth wheel. Some are drag radios page on the country that they’re operating and some use drag Trailers to keep the height down. Talk to Trucker Tim in 🇬🇧 he has a KZread channel 😊

hello the scania used to be a carnival truck thats why the funny box in the back these are extra parts for the ride and its also the ticket booth! normal trucks just have the 5th Wheel so you got something even more special

I Norway we have a second axel , sometime as tandem. Singel rear axel is usually for light cargo mostly in Europe.

Great video Bruce! The truck is in pretty bad shape but it was still fun to watch. A little tip, when using reversing gear, hit some main gear first, because reverse gear is not synchronised and there is no clutch brake 😁

It would be nice to see you restore the Scalia to its original glory! Nice! 🌴🌴🌴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚛🚛🚛

Nice to see a truck from the netherlands. Tale good care of this old beast.

ON the highways from Norway/Danmark to the fish markets around Europe .. and pulling the fuse ON the speed limiter.. it ran almost 75+mph/ 120km/h.. like a beast with 80000p Up and Down No problems ..💥 sure it needs at Good maintance job leaks fix etc.. if u Will put he back into a prober glory conditon.. parts are to find ofcourse in Europe😉 have fun and some sweat N’ tears ON he.. all the best for you from Denmark🇩🇰🤞

You should take your time and check what parts you need, and get someone who can ship everything to you. It would be worth it. / A Swede

Great one Bruce. My son is a diesel technician for Scania Group in Australia. The 770hp V8’s are nuts

I prefer the Australian or South African configuration, European specs look soft with that single axle

​@@AppydemMost scanias here in Ireland always have a lift axle, or double drive but not a lot

​@@AppydemEuropean and American trucks are so light 😂 But European still have fennoscandia, Finland and Sweden have real mass with these 😎👌 In Finland 76 metric tonnes, 3-5 axles at the truck, and even 6 axles at trailer. 👍 And Scanias and Volvos everywhere in Finland, third one is Mercedes.

Hello Bruce✌️You have a beautiful Scania 144 V8, please more videos of the Scania, I am a big Scania fan and drive a Scania myself professionally in Austria, please more videos of the Scania💪

That's a cool truck. I actually work at Scania in Sweden. The latest 780hp V8 is awesome...

You have definitely sent me down a rabbit hole. I must know more about these and how they work now. More or less the differences between our trucks. And the European trucks.

10:09 definitely convenient for letting the lot lizards come and go lolol 😁

I just looked up the old Dutch licence plate, it's built in '97, imported into the Netherlands in 2005, and exported to the US in 2015/16. 530 horsepower and 866.5 cubic inches.
