This Scammell Highwayman Low Loader comes in the bright red and black colour scheme of the London Brick Company registered 309 KTM. The company's block lettering in white with black outline appears on the doors of the Scammell cab and the headboard features Phorpres Bricks. This interesting product name is apparently a derivation of 'four pressed'. Most early brick presses applied two presses to the powdered clay when moulding. However, the London Brick Company was one firm that pressed them twice in each direction, hence 'four pressed' which if pronounced quickly resulted in the shortened 'Phorpres'.
This modle featuring the London Brick Company will team up very nicely with the AEC Matador Wrecker 76AEC004.
