Copied from a TruckEast Ltd. Topic. Now this is a truck that you do not want to miss! Manchetts has just picked up this brand new Scania R 650 B 6X4, it is not just the magnificent paint work - it is the highly quality spec included both inside and outside... The driver will now be immersed in luxury comfort with it's premium trimmed cab with V8 leather interior, DuraBrite alloys to prevent chips, crack, peeling or corrosion and our 6 system camera package. Not forgetting the exterior this Recovery Truck has been fitted with the Falkom FAW2500. Extra long reach under-lift arms with a 4.5m reach, a double top boom and 2 24 ton winches.

We are proud to announce support from one of the automotive leaders Green Flag to help bring awareness and safety.
