Manufacturer description

As the name suggests, the Scammell Pioneer was essentially a military vehicle used extensively by the British Army in World War II. Built between 1937 and 1945, its power proved equally useful in post-war civilian life where it lent itself particularly well to the heavy haulage needs in the Showmen world. Several of Oxford's releases on the Pioneer have brought to life some of the famous names in the world of the fairground, where Silcock Brothers share top billing. Decorated in bright red with gold and white lettering, the truck is promoting the State Fair of Warrington with the slogan 'Enjoy Yourself - It's Later than You Think'. Registered 4989 ED, collectors may wish to note that this model of the Pioneer comes without the tow hook tooling option.
