Scammell Highwayman
What is your favourite lorry of all time?
In Britain during the fifties and early Sixties the only commonly seen articulated heavy lorries were the bonneted Scammell "Artic Eights" and "Highwaymans". The Highwayman name was used from 1960 after the Scammell takeover by the Leyland Group in 1955. Scammells had always supplied the vehicle as a complete "Artic Eight" but under Leyland's direction it was eventually redesignated a 4x2 tractor unit becoming known as the Highwayman and available with a conventional fifth wheel coupling.
