The very colourful two-tone blue and red livery of Skeldons of Stichill, Haulage Contractors looks great on the modern Houghton Parkhouse livestock trailer and will make a bright addition to your Oxford livestock transporter fleet. Skeldon's Scottish Borders roots are pretty evident on both the cab and trailer including the Scottish flags, the Scottish thistles on each side of the radiator grille and the 'Tartan Haggis' figure on the cab doors. The vehicle is also aptly named the Caledonian Drover, if you look at the lettering printed under the windscreen. The company's link with Europe and France in particular sees both flags on the rear of the tractor unit, as well as an Ecosse and France link along the roof line of the cab. Registered SK66 CCD, a final detail not to be missed is the fine artwork behind the driver's window and the rear of the cab featuring Scottish livestock scenes.
