76SNG001 – Scania S Series Highline Fridge

Description

The Scania S Series cab with a fridge trailer in the highly decorative livery of the well-established Scottish seafood supplier Whitelink Seafoods from Aberdeenshire.

On the technical front, it’s all about the interior of the Scania S Series cab, which offers the ultimate in comfort for the long distance driver. Scania describe it as a haven of luxury. It features a flat floor and extended storage, plus reclining seat functions and interior lights. There is improved positioning for the driver, lowered side windows and a large surface area of glass ensuring greater visibility. The dashboard has also been lowered slightly, giving improved forward visibility. The dashboard display is larger too with improved graphics and intuitive controls. There is also an improved temperature controlled system for even greater driver comfort.

Scania have refined the exterior of the cab too. The cab front, improved roof and enhanced side air deflectors are all aerodynamically designed to reduce fuel consumption.

The Scania S series cab pulls, for its first long distance run, the fridge trailer of Whitelink Seafoods, a company of nearly 50 years’ standing from Fraserburgh, Europe’s biggest shellfish port and the heart of the Scottish fishing industry. The company prides itself on its reputation for service, reliable supply and exceptional quality. Its roots are embedded in the traditional fishing industry and the Whitelink name is taken from Whitelinks Bay, across the water from the family’s 18th Century village home of Cairnbulg. The family run firm employs 180 people locally and around 230 worldwide, many from traditional fishing families. The company boasts that while they may have ultra modern technology to run their business, their ethos goes back centuries.

The fine 1:76 scale Oxford replica features the detail of the real thing, from the cab design to the intricate decoration. Registered SV17 0NR, the base colour of the vehicle is white with a black interior. Exterior trim is both black and white and the radiator grille is masked a bright blue with the Scania name above it. The variety of seafood depicted on the sides of the vehicle is amazing, each fish lying on a bed of cracked ice – so detailed.
