When I can pin Nigel down, there will hopefully be a write up of his truck on here too.
Scammell Explorer History
(Shamelessly cribbed from www.rememuseum.org.uk)
During the early development of the Scammell Pioneer in the 1920s and 1930s, a few six wheel drive versions were produced and others were made experimentally during World War 2. The limitations on the Pioneer’s cross country mobility were mainly to do with traction, if the four driving wheels were unable to grip on soft ground. So, soon after the War ended, experiments began with a 6 x 6 recovery vehicle. The outcome was the Explorer which bore a strong resemblance to its predecessor. Read More

Although I didn’t take the yellow thing I thought it was a good day, we were dead
lucky with the weather and all those who attended were getting nice and muddy,
especially the Hilux lads, they are just mad for it.
Mark couldn’t keep his tyres on his wheels on his Rangie, that’ll soon get sorted
and we even signed up some new members which was nice.
I took the Landcruiser for a little run all around the perimeter but it’s a big lumbering
thing to do it in and the weight seems to make it slide sideways alot although
it is somewhat reassuring to see a full row of difflock warning lights illuminated!!

Britain’S BIGGEST 4X4 Accessory Store… and a lot more!
http://www.britishindoor4×4show.com/index.html
Now a firm fixture in the 4×4 calendar, Donington is a prime opportunity for off-roaders to get together, talk vehicles and shop for parts and accessories.
Run by the makers of Total Off Road and Planet 4×4 magazines, the show is well established as Britain’s number one off-road supermarket with over 90 exhibitors to shop from - whether you’re into laning, racing, winch challenges, overland travel or just having fun in your vehicle.
And this year we’ve doubled the size of the modified vehicle display, so there’s even more top trucks on show for you to ogle.
The show is on Sunday 17th February at Donington Exhibition Centre in Castle Donington, just off the M1, Junction 24. Gates open at 10.00am.
There’s free car parking and a licensed bar and restaurant. So with free entry to under 16s and £2.50 off the advance ticket price, don’t hang about and book your tickets now!
For further info on the show, please contact rachael.grignon@wwonline.co.uk.
Byron, there is a competition for modified vehicles with prizes, you may have a good shot cos it still looks like a car of sorts!
