Every Scania T cab since 2005 or so is an aftermarket conversion as I understand it. The actual factory made flat floor T cabs are very rare.

I've driven both hood and COE trucks alot and those who say that an old style Scania, Volvo or American truck for that matter with a hood design rides better have not driven a COE truck. End of story. A tripple aired Volvo FH is a fantastically comfortable thing to cruise around in. Not to mention the visibility issues of a hood design. They are close to extinct in Europe for a reason. They look cool tho, especially the Yank ones.

I saw the blue Mar Train Scania....
That one's an aftermarket conversion by a Dutch company, I think.
an absolutely gopping one at that, NGT scanias do not look good when applied to the T-cab design.the hood is too square and the grill is odd.
