My dad used to drive for Munros many years ago when they ran scammell trunkers and scania 111s , My hobby is building model trucks in the colours of long departed scottish haulage firms, and im looking for any info or pics of Munros trucks. I know they ran mainly 113 scanias before they finished up , any info would be grateful.
