• Independent dealer Euro Wise of Aylesham in Kent has found out what to do with used 4x2 day-cab 3zohp ex-contract tractors.
It is converting 16 of them, all Scania P113s, into concrete mixers with .4m3 barrels; and it has already sold a dozen, says director Peter Hassan.
Selling at 127,000-28,000 each, the rejuvenated trucks are equipped with refurbished mixer equipment, a new power take-off, and a new vertical exhaust. They have no more than 20 o,000km recorded and are plated at 17 tonnes.
"They can operate at 18 tonnes if the springs are changed," Hassan says.
