"UK Truck Spotting 9 - A1, Scotland"
2008 Scania R560 Topline 6X2 midlift tractor unit registered FN57DXX pulling a flatbed trailer, operated by Christie Transport. Captured by Google Street View in June 2023 in a layby on the A77 near Girvan, Ayrshire.
This Flickr page aims to document and archive trucks captured by Google when recording 'Street View' data. Although many spotters have photographed thousands of lorries over the decades, there are still so many hidden within Google's impressive coverage of much of the world. Thankfully they preserve all Street View data recorded, so 'travelling back in time' is possible. Although understandably, for privacy reasons Google censors licence plates and faces which can sometime result in random areas of the image being blurred. Ideally the description of each screenshot would contain the vehicle's registration number, but unfortunately this is not always possible. However, on some occasions, with enough research we can discover what a vehicle's registration is. The page is mainly focussed on British roads and vehicles.
Also, every photo is linked to the vehicle's exact location on street view, so you can have a look around it yourself:

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) - here you will find all trucks organized in more than 1700 albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.
Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
