The restoration of my 1944 Scammell 6X4 Pioneer (SV/2S) In August 1998 I took the plunge and bought YF0 818, a 1944 Scammell Pioneer recovery tractor in a partially restored state. Over the next ten pages are a series of photos taken over the restoration of the vehicle over the winter 1998/99. |

| The day my new toy arrived. I had managed to find the old girl about 40 miles away from my home having got chatting to a fellow military vehicle enthusiast at Welland Show. I said in passing that I was looking for something bigger (my previous restoration project being an air-portable Land Rover - another passion of mine!) and he said 'You might be interested in what I've got in my shed' (!) Indeed I was... The low-loader was courtesy of another military vehicle enthusiast (he owns a couple of Thornycrofts) - moving plant being his day job, thanks Terry! | ||
