Mail carried and delivered by Scammel Scarab Tractor



The Scammell Scarab is a British 3-wheeled tractor unit produced by the truck manufacturer Scammell between 1948 and 1967. Its name is commonly believed to be derived from the rounded bonnet that resembled the elytra (wing covers) of a Scarab beetle, but the name really comes from a more conventional source, Scammell's idea of the combination of an Arab horse (which the Mechanical Horse replaced in BR usage) and the word Scammell. Sca-rab = Scarab. - Wikipedia

Well, one innovative Malta's mobile post office was created by converting a 1965 Scammell tractor.


Commemorative covers with personalised stamps were issued on the day of its opening
