Have you been asking yourself: Where can I find classic lorries advertised for sale and for auction? The answer is right on these pages at Truckpages. At Truckpages we define a classic truck as any rigid truck or tractor unit made before 1995. These oldtimers may be for sale via a dealer, an auction, or directly from the owner. There is always a good number of both classic and vintage trucks for sale here. Check back to find classic British trucks from ERF, Foden and Scammel plus the continental trucks from Scania and Volvo.
As trucks had to work had for a living, it is amazing that any have survived at all, but there are plenty kept at the back of barns across the country. As far as cars are concerned, there are plenty more old cars available, and for that reason theremany labels. For example, a classic car is one you might drive from the 80’s or 90’s whilst a veteran is pre WWI, Vintage is before 1930, post vintage is between 1930 and 1945. If you look at the V5 of a car that is older than 40 years old, the taxation class is ‘historic vehicle’ and with this comes certain benefits – no MoT required, ULEZ exempt and no road tax! Although trucks are not automatically a ‘historic vehicle’ at the age of 40, the owner can nonetheless apply here. However, there are plenty of trucks from the mid-to late 1980s and into the 1990s that are considered classic – think the Volvo F88, Scania 141 and, of course, the last of the Scammells and fibreglass ERFs.
So, good luck in your search and keep checking back regularly as classic trucks come up for sale and for auction all the time here at Truckpages.
The Truck Pages braved the weather at this year’s Road Transport Expo at the NAEC in Stoneleigh. Unlike other UK truck shows, this one actually had some truck manufacturers taking part. All the major truck manufacturers had a presence and most of them had pushed the boat out with impressive displays. So, what were the highlights? If cranes, lifts, software, refrigerated units and all things ‘ancillary’ are your thing, then you should probably spend all three days there as there were hundreds of stands covering all elements of road transport. We’ve picked out a few areas that we think you…
The precursor to today’s Mercedes Atego truck – the LN2 was launched forty years ago this year. Back in 1984, this was in the days before every truck had some distinct brand name, so the most famous of these trucks was the 7.5 tonner called simply the ‘814’ in the UK. Produced between 1984 and 1998, the LN2 replaced the lightweight LP, which had been the number one in its segment for almost 20 years. The LN2 gave some hints to the future design cues of Mercedes tilting cab trucks - especially the heavy-duty class (SK as of 1988). The…

The Historic Commercial Vehicle Society’s “London” to Brighton Run will be back this year on Sunday 12th May 2024.
