berna2vm Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 and in the roadtrain.leyland took the 760 and turbo charged it bosch pump heads ect and made the engine ahead of its time. Yes,and it certainly was one of the best engines of it's day. The design remit was that it had to be capable of 500,000 miles between overhauls... I cannot imagine why anyone would have chosen the Cummins or Rolls Royce engines in preference to the standard powerplant.Maybe it was because of shortages in the supply of the TL12 or that hauliers had these power units in other makes of truck?? The Scammell is one piece of heavy metal,very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 The more I look around this site the more I want an old truck, especially one with a Scammel badge on the front of it.

AndyFowler Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Horrible feeling as it tips ! I had a Hiab start to lean over , my fault as I had not extended the jack fully to do a fella a favour :stop:! Luckily I was just extending the boom so I quickly put the load down and chalked it up to experience ! Never again ! :sweat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 A crane at work managed that trick a few years ago. Driver lept from it as it went. I seem to remember the jib squashed one of those plastic industrial dustbins. Any Scammell driving hairdresser out there I'm open to offers. I'll even wire in a socket in the glove box for curling tongs (or is it straighteners these days?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz76 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Here Smiler- I just heard that a Ford Cortina MK2 has wiped the floor with all the competition (Ferrari's and other rarities included) at the national concourse. Bloke's been rebuilding it for 15 yrs. :shocked: Some achievement! Do you do this kind of stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
