The Scammell came from 'The Prisoner' I do not remember where in the story but even at the dimensions of the time it was far too big for most of the roads around Portmeirion.

that opening sequence to Convoy makes my hair stand on end - its THE good.... And the music is ace as well...
I hasten to add, i saw this film 11 (eleven) times at the cinema when it came out. Does that get me to 'superspot' status in the anorak army??? :-)

The Scammell was indeed from The Prisoner tv series and if memory serves, was not used in Portmeirion but in London in the very last episode.
