Model Type: Scammell Pioneer SV2S (Heavy Recovery Vehicle).
• Origin: United Kingdom (Manufactured by Scammell Lorries Ltd).
• Era: Originally designed in 1927; the SV2S version was widely produced during World War II (1938–1945).
• Role: It served as a "Heavy Wrecker" or recovery tractor, used to pull broken-down vehicles or move heavy artillery.
• Engine: It is powered by a Gardner 6LW 6-cylinder diesel engine. It was famous for its incredible torque and low-speed pulling power rather than speed.
• Unique Feature: Look closely at the rear wheels; the Pioneer utilized a "walking beam" rear suspension that allowed it to navigate extremely uneven terrain, despite not being a true 4x4 or 6x6.
