buy the black Actros, 16 litres 630 hp but only if you can live with people in V8 Scania s looking down on you

 

[Lenny HB]

I canna believe it! Lenny paying UK prices!!! It must be a stonking deal ... or the only way you can get one this side of 2026!

Poor salesman will be having a lot to explain to his boss

The silly high trade in price came from the boss.

I my have missed it, which model Carthago did you go for?

Tell us more, how did you spec it?

 

[Minxy]

I had a Dethleffs 7.4m, 3.5 tonne max for 6 years with the 150 engine. Like an anorak, I kept a log of diesel put in tank (always to the top) and mileage since last fill AND total diesel bought and mileage done in those 6 years.
Nearly always used cruise control on motorways/autoroutes and rarely exceeded 60mph unless overtaking.
Over the 6 years and around 32,000 miles, the average was 27.2mpg.

Nowt wrong with being an anorak ... I've done it for over 20 years!

 

[Minxy]

I my have missed it, which model Carthago did you go for?

I think it's the C-Compactline i-141 - the shorter one with twin singles.

What delivery times are they quoting Lenny HB ? Who is the dealer?

 

[WESTY66]

Well this has got to be the ugliest van in the show!!

That said I read the spec sheet and it’s got some kit on it and I kinda got to like it, but not at €433k

 

[Minxy]

Lenny HB ... as you're gonna get inundated with questions might be best to start your own thread!

That seems par for the course for Notin, loads of innovation and ugly as sin.

Notins have always been ugly. Do they still have external window blinds? Daily chassis with all boxes ticked and a Smart Car and still under 7500kgs no doubt. I really don't know how the French manage it

Totally pissed off at the moment, now saying no availability for 2023.
Seeing if they can do a deal for 2024, if they can delivery may only be a few months longer.

See post above, don't want to mention dealer unless I get something sorted but it was a UK dealer.

3 to 4 pints of that and you will be walking like Bambi on ice and talking Swahili

I think Concorde are adding 7.5% to quoted prices for 2023 delivery and 15% for 2024, if you have an agreed price you are doing OK

Bugger, that’s going to increase the price of our new Concorde then.

Oops I’ve been asleep and had a lovely dream just now.

 

[JockandRita]

Not one I have had before Jim, but it does look very inviting.

Gary & Janet caught up with is at Zell, and he and I have been on the.......

Very nice indeed.

Cheers

Jock.

Was there not a point that Simon-Alan Kerr said that he could source a new Carthago for you ?
