This sorry looking thing is one of the vehicles
that turned up at a small motoring meet at the top of Werneth Low in Hyde in
July 1991.
It's a 1961 Scammell Scarab, a
tractor unit which was designed to facilitate the delivery of goods in busy
built-up areas. Because of their manoeuvrability they were used extensively by
British Railways and I remember seeing the one used at the local railway
station when I was a youngster. I've got a couple of photographs that I subsequently took of this Scammell at other vehicle rallies looking in much better condition, but the DVLA record shows that it's not been taxed since June 2009.
