    So the fridge is is larger then the cab? 11.5 feetx 11.5 feet x 11.5 feet = 1520.875 cubic feet. You made a wrong turn in the math. It's ok we are all human , except one Platypus .

    31 in 4serie. 3 for UK in R serie, one for Svempa and one for Laxa.

    It was 1x exc prototype last known to me is that porsche racing team own it.

    30x were from normal production limited.

    1x for Svempa since he can get anything( famous wrecker company from Sweden, he is legend,build showtrucks, limited edition trucks for scania and some race trucks)

    1x for Laxa they have built for themself(Laxa is owned by Scania it is special plant who made those cabs)

    3x for UK, i have no idea how did they get them



    As far i know all are still alive except one from Belgium , lost in fire

    Can't find it. But it's the same as with the T model, you can not use them with the standard max. size trailers, so there is very limited demand. There is company Vlastuin in the Netherlands that converts standard Scania's to the T model (adding the nose), and another one, Winkoop, that converts them to the longline.

    both beds are 900mm wide, this is 3ft, i find it good, most single beds in home are in this width.
    i think scania wanted to turn bed in other direction to show how spacious it is, also they create plenty of space to move drivers seat about 16-17 inch more than normal.

    bed mattress is 1ft thick, i think too much, because it is too high to sit on it, (2ft from floor), or at least they could create more space underneath for storage. i could sit normally on chair at left of cab, i am 5´11˝ 166lb, that cab dont have much more storage space than normal cabs. lot of open space, i guess to show space. i have been inside only twice.

    sorry for refrigerator mistake, about size, also i have mistaken its volume it is 50L (1.77qft) not 45L(1.59qft), water tank is 45L (1.59qft).

    longline was available only with max equipment, only on 580hp, only as tractor in 4 metalic colors.

    as much i know only 3 original ones have shower/toilet inside

    No, this is a custom version. Please, don't look at the colours. I've noticed that many custom truck interiors seem to have been designed by someone who is specialized in designing brothel interiors.
