Yes Rob you are probably correct in your asumption..very sad end if it has. Heres a link to a post showing the Scammell Constructor "Red Dragon" The owner of this truck is who I spoke to about the AEC back in 1999. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?17748-See-You-Can-Take-a-Dragon-Out-of-Wales&highlight=dragon -
Does anyone know the whereabouts of this lovely truck? I took these pictures back in 1999 when the truck was working in a boat yard in Plymouth. It was up for sale at the time for £1700. It was 99% complete and in full working order..I took it for a spin around the yard..great fun! I considered buying it but unfortunately had nowhere to keep it. However I mentioned it to a guy at the Berkley Castle MVT show who owned the Scammell "Welsh Dragon?" memory not so good...he was from N Wales. Well after a while I noticed it had been sold and gone to N Wales! And that was the end of that...never heard from again!!

Nice looking truck..good luck with the resto:) Just one little thing..its should be "Too hot to handle"! You don't want "helpful" members of the public constantly pointing that out to you at every show you go to!! -

"2. Rollover. This happened to 2 good buddies of mine. Negotiated a bend too fast and flipped the vehicle. They were carrying a water bean can which shifted the centre of gravity". I mentioned this incident in an earlier post. Ive just been sent a pic of the truck that was involved. It smashed through a wall and plunged 30 feet down an embankment. They walked away..only just! -
I hope both the drivers had their excuses ready when they were banging their tabs in in front of the OC!!
