Wanted to paint my old 1954 explorer that desert sand but had to sell her 😕 I had a Gardner 6LXB in mine. Youre near the Bluebell line! Beautifully turned out!
A handsome truck and lovely sound. That brought back memories. Also, I spent most of my life in Haywards Heath and Sharpthorne. I recognised Ardingly showground too - used to run a stand there for HHDAS at the Smallholder's Show, back in the day...
Love your Explorer, I was wondering if you could help? A friend and I are looking to restore an early Scammell explorer which was purchased from a farmer that lay in a ditch on his farm, we have now stored it in a large shed. We are looking for manuals on the Scammell especially anything that would helps us with replacing the old rotten wood panels, flooring and storage boxes as most have fallen to pieces.
Really love this explorer, just looks & sounds so great 😀
Absolutely stunning unit. For it's time (and even today in the right hands) an extremely capable recovery vehicle.
Anything with a Scammell in it gets a thumbs up from me 👍🏻.

My grandad worked on explorer and drove them whilst in Reme TA out in Cyprus in 1963 they were sandy coloured and had quite a few in Dhekelia.
That's the type of hold up cause I'm happy to see on the road. It's like being stuck behind a flock of sheep; so relaxing and enjoyable 👍😊
Love these trucks! Thank you for the video.
ooooh, makes me want to go out to the pub in Thor..... sounds lovely under load.. (-:
This is an enchanting video, thanks a lot for the pleasure.
Does the engine sound like a Rolls-Royce diesel?

Did you ever get any help? I gave a copy of the Explorer ISPL to the Scammell Register when they showed up at the AEC rally a couple of years ago.

1994delicaman Yeah, looks like an NHC 220. It's too loud to be a Gardner 😊
Perkins 305 by the looks of the siamese exhaust
