Proud to unveil our latest show truck – “Setanta”.
Inspired by the legendary Irish warrior Setanta and the Setanta brand itself, this build represents strength, craftsmanship and attention to detail, brought together by some of the very best names in the industry.
A special mention must go to Aaron Clarke, Key Account Manager at Setanta Vehicle Sales, whose vision, creativity and dedication drove this project from concept to completion. With the support of an outstanding team of partners, Aaron helped turn an ambitious idea into a truly unique truck.
A huge thank you to everyone who played their part:
🔹 Van Kessel Truckstyling – for taking the vision and bringing it to life through exceptional craftsmanship. From the bespoke side skirts, catwalk, toolbox, rear panel and custom Dutch bumper, to the unique headboard, air horn configuration, work lights and integrated grille headlights. Many of these components will soon be available in a catalogue, allowing others to bring a touch of Setanta styling to their own trucks.
🔹 Nigel Smith – NJS Autobody, Navan, Ireland – for the stunning cab paintwork.
🔹 Truckspuiterij Bronk – for the flawless finishing and painting of all custom parts.
🔹 Hollywood Signs/DHS Truck Products, Newry – for the incredible airbrushing, design work and headboard styling that perfectly captures the spirit of Setanta.
🔹 Setanta Vehicle Sales – for the finishing touches, styling details and countless hours invested in ensuring every element came together exactly as envisioned.
🔹 Pennings Interieurs – with the final stage of the project still to come as the interior receives its finishing touches. A catalogue of the interior components featured in Setanta will also be available soon.
This truck is the result of an outstanding collaboration between talented people across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Netherlands, all working towards one goal: creating something truly special.
Congratulations to Aaron and everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. We hope you enjoy Setanta as much as we have enjoyed building it.
