Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Started easily and ran reliably in both engine and drivetrain. While the undersigned did not drive it personally, as a passenger on a short trip, it appeared to perform well. The seller had driven the truck in regular rush hour traffic from Ingarö to Bromma and back without any issues—at that point, the odometer rolled over to 19,000 km. What could be seen underneath looked solid, with some patina.
-
Interior condition
The interior of the Be-GE cab is rustic but functional, with most components working as they should. It features appropriate service equipment for a rescue vehicle of its time. The right-hand door was jammed at the time of photography.
-
Exterior condition
The body and other components are in a patinated but functional condition. Decals and emblems are in good shape. There is rust damage (holes) at the lower rear edge of the front fenders. One rear mudflap is missing. The pump’s functionality is uncertain but it appears complete. At the time of photography, the hoses were not present, but they are with the owner and will be included in the sale.
-
General condition
This rig might not quite fit on a typical suburban driveway, but for those with a passion for heavy emergency vehicles, this Scania L55—with its history—is both interesting and exciting.

Facts about the model
The L55 was introduced in the summer of 1959 as a smaller version of the L75, which had debuted the previous spring. It featured a new six-cylinder engine based on the L75's design, but in a smaller 7,167 cm³ version producing 120 hp. If equipped with a tandem rear axle (bogie), it was designated LS55. The cab was also similar to the one used in the L75.
In the fall of 1962, the L55 was succeeded by the L56/LS56, which among other upgrades featured a larger 7,790 cm³ engine producing 140 hp. A total of 18,416 units were produced, including the special L66 model, which was commonly exported. The L66 was a hybrid between the L75 and the L55/56. All of these models were eventually replaced by the L80 series as the 1960s drew to a close.
