hi john,
this contractor was bought as a complete running useable vehicle by tony morgan.they then started work on changing the original scammell cab to one removed from a marathon.the other one i posted recently was an original hht built by heanor haulage from langley mill,derby.she wasd registered sal 513r and featured on the cover of truck magazine during the 70’s.during 1996 g.e. keedwell bought it,ran it for a while then started changing the cab for a 112 scania r type.
