Scottish built Volvo's? I didn't realise they ever had a factory in the UK, other than the Samsung plant in Yorkshire they closed down.

My dad had both Scammel Routman and Maggie 232's.The Scammels were often broke down.One was an ex Steetley.The Maggies were awesom performance and reliability.He also had a few 6 wheeler AEC's and a leyland Bison I think.
