Scammell Highwayman 1950s, 1960s

Scammell Highwayman

What is your favourite lorry of all time?

In "pre-artic" Britain of the 1950s and early 1960s the only commonly seen articulated lorries were the bonnetted Scammell "Artic Eights" and "Highwaymans". The name Highwayman was used from 1960 following Scammell's entry into the Leyland Group in 1955. Scammells had always marketed the vehicle as a complete "Artic Eight" but under Leyland's influence it was eventually redesignated a 4x2 tractor unit becoming known as the Highwayman and available with a conventional fifth wheel coupling.
