• retirement date close to upload date, so may still return to service.

You don't buy an aging Scania Series 3 for practical reasons, but for passion and the pattern of many registrations is typical of such older, highly treasured trucks. Many want to get that dose of nostalgia, even if it's not very practical in modern times. So after a while, once the buzz wears off, it is sold on to a new owner with the same desires for nostalgia. This 1996 Scania fits the description very well and even participated in truck shows for owner Kenneth Buch, while also continuing to perform everyday tasks.

Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.
