Whatever it is, it’s a Homalloy cab. Variations of it used on all sorts of motors including a few BMCs Pete.

Yes Bernard, Southern Gas had a few BMC’s with that cab powered by the 3.4 four cylinder engine. I re-engined a couple with Gold Seal units. Oh and I said it was a Leyland before Carryfast, even posted a pic with the same grille badge, but he can keep the cigar as I value my lungs too much! :laughing:

Pete.

The ones I remember Pete, being a Londoner were FE or FF 5 ton box vans on the Greater London Council.

Anorak, the Scammell cab is Scammell’s own, I think the Mason Leyland started out as a pantechnicon, the cab was probably originally integral and built by the bodybuilder. Only guessing. Nice looking motor whatever.

And the Scammell cab was a Michelotti design, as was the later cab that gained the “cheesegrater” sobriquet.
