Stormin Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 A chap in Dartford imported 19 from Germany after disposal if I remember the conversation correctly and sold them all except one rather sad looking skeleton in his yard ! I had a feeling some of them must have subsequently returned home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiomike7 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Looks from that list that a great many of them were sold off in Germany rather than returning here. No doubt they would've done a great job for many a European recovery firms as they have here, but how many have made it into enthusiast hands on the continent?I'm not aware of a great Scammell following other than in the U.K. but perhaps I'm wrong and it's a worldwide obsession. They were sold off in Germany by the Disposals Organisation RAOC to the likes of L W Vass who then brought them back to the UK. I bought chassis 7413 for spares which was sold in Hamm, Westfalia on 05/06/72. Scammellitis is a predominantly UK activity; the rest of the world thinks of us as a nation of junk collectors:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

younggun Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) hi all just so u guys dont think i have done a runner, quick progress report heads. have been skimmed as advised my some one more in the know than me. valves have been lapped in and re fitted allso have made the 6 spacers needed for the head torque plan and the 6 copper washers for the injectors i decided to make these as it was quicker than trying to find some the rite size. both heads just need a little paint and they are done . engine mounts have been found in the robush catalog other things i have decided not too paint the rocker covers rocker box and inlet manifold as they are aluminium so i will give them a gd polish and hope they come up well . progress is slow but i am getting there . will get u all some pics soon nick Edited April 3, 2009 by younggun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormin Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Going to be looking a bit shiney for a military vehicle isn't it? Could be in competition with that Gardner engine posted on Jim's Pioneer restoration blog. Looks a nice job of skimming that head, can't see any machining marks at all.
