Manufacturer description

The Scammell Pioneer, produced between 1937 and 1945, served extensively throughout WWII as an artillery tractor, as well as being used as a 6 x 4 heavy breakdown vehicle. After the end of the war, the Pioneer proved most useful in civilian life in the roles of heavy haulage, forestry, fairground and recovery, lasting well into the 1980s. Our model is as used by the Royal Artillery (1st Army), who gave it the name 'Boadicea', seen above the windscreen. Decorated in camouflage colours, its military insignia also feature across the back doors
