This was operated by WJ Wyatt of Standlake after being sold by Smiths during the recession; I’ve heard it’s been sold again but it’s been seen recently in the Chipping Norton area :confused: Either way it was my old girl (identified by someone who put a “Caterpillar” badge on the grille :blush:

Hi Mike; just for fun, two “Nicholas Nicklebys’” from different points in history :wink:


Unlike Stobarts, Cullimores’ like to recycle the names :smiley:

A couple of demonstrators supplied to Smiths Bletchington;


My Dad drove this for 2 days-hated it.


This demo has been around several of the local companies; Smiths bought 2 but some hauliers say they’re just too heavy.

Hi Nathan.Yes its nice to see the names kept going on Cullimore’s gear.
Scania looks fine nice unit, but big and clumsy for artic tipper work on dry.
Just my opinion.
Regards Mike.
