Now here's a bit of a eye-watering moment from Biglorryblog....from the September 1991 edition of TRUCK and a story by Malcom Bates on the very last 'new' Scammell' built in the UK on its way to a new life in Malaya with Balfour Beatty working on a major joint construction project run by Cementation. I wonder if that 'project' was the dam that caused all that fuss and bother later on? Anyroadup, it's interesting to note that, according to MB, Scammell shut three years earlier and they'd obviously had a job finding a suitable buyer for this 6x6 Explorer! For the record it had a 335 14-litre Cummins NTC335, 10-speed Fuller box, Kirkstall driven front axle and Scammell back bogie. Now click through here for more....
According to the story it also took its own Crane Fruehauf heavy-duty low loader with it. Of course the real question is whatever happened to it after it arrived in Malaya? Did it survive or go to the great graveyard in the sky....?
