Lewiss had a furniture warehouse at Moss Vale Road Urmston and had about 40 scammell automatic coupling trailers and about 10 scarabs. Mid 1960s I used to deliver Mothers Pride Bread to Lewiss store Manchester about 6am. Lewis`s would have a couple of trailers parked up on the loading bays ready for the Urmston drivers to do changeovers. It was marvellous to see one driver Alec. On arrival without fail he would reach for his mug full of tea that was balancing somewhere on his dash, eat a sandwich while smoking his pipe that never left his mouth. This was while doing his changeover within Nano seconds, brew can at the ready and be away back to Urmston leaving a thick trail of smoke and spit after stocking up his pipe. I think he used to do this trip about 8 times a day job and finish.
Regards KEV

No, sorry I don’t recognise the Volvo…but with the height of that trailer I wouldn’t want to pull those Insuliner curtains from one end to the other.

More specifically the 92 turbo series V 6 and V 8 which should have been put in the thing as standard from virtually day 1 totally by passing the 71 series.More or less a smoking gun proving the theory that the Brits were sabotaged to help the foreign importers.That T reg example should make anorak think again regarding previous arguments we’ve had on the subject elsewhere.
The 6v92 sounded and went much better than either the 6v71 or 8v71 and that one in photo was not only rare it would have been a flying machine in the day like some of the fire truck examples of it we built at the time. 
With the Bowker’s FL10 being an M reg - you’d have to say that the old 1 series Scania is looking good for it’s age.

Hi Kev, I remember Lewis`s in Liverpool very well, I can recall my mother taking me there in 1955 to buy me a school blazer, having passed
the 11 Plus exam. The Liverpool store was rebuilt in the late 1940s and early 1950s, having been destroyed by the Luftwaffe in World War 2.
The bronze statue on the corner of the building was by Epstein, and shows a man stood on the bow of a ship, looking out to sea, but he hasn’t
any clothes on, he was soon nicknamed “Dickie Lewis” by the locals. Ray.

Bit of a diversion, but didn’t “Jock” Young have his own aeroplane? White and blue, his HY symbol on tail fin? 6 seat single prop?
