You can't tow that with a 101, they aren't equipped with Air brakes.
Besides it's 2.5 tonnes, which will seriously eat into your fuel bill.

Sort of thing you usually see after a show behind a Scammell Explorer
going marginally faster than a team of oxen.

hehe.  Pioneer, surely?

Which is the one with a single axle driving 4 rear wheels through those
bloody great gearcases?

Either, Pioneer wartime 6 x 4, Explorer postwar 6 x 6; both with
walking beam back axles.
Both top out at 29 ish and legal on a motorway!!! (think M11 leaving
Duxford show and wondering what the hold up is)

Yes, both had it, only the Explorer was 6x6, the Pioneer had no drive
to the front axle, and no brakes on it either, IIRC.

Fantastic axle articulation, thanks to the walking beam rear, and the
transverse leaft spring at the front.

with the mile long tail back. I am not one of those who would get some
modern truck to low load me scammell.

I know where there's a 6x6, or I did anyway.  I always wanted to get hold of
it and restore it.
