The a
bove Scammell Scarab was sold from
Gateshead Depot into farm use at Morpeth together with Townsman JDN 379E
(Pictured Left) Both stood in a field out of use for twenty years before being
discovered and purchased. The Townsman was substantially restored and then
passed onto LYNX PARCELS who are completing the restoration. The Scarab was
passed onto Ken Roe who began restoration. It is now in the possession of Chris Manning. At the time of writing the Scarab has been stripped down to its
chassis, which was found to be badly corroded.
Our Chairman, John Downs is progressing well with his total re-build of the 1957 Scarab NDN 759 All the mechanics are now complete. Work continuing on the cab and electrics.
