    I think I covered it in the subject line. but let's see what I can do. The Scammell Breakdown Truck aka Tow Truck aka Wrecker was made from 1959-1965. This seems to be a heavy duty breakdown truck but does not look quite large enough for British tanks of that time which would be the Centurion and the Conqueror. But there were plenty of other vehicles that may need help now and then. Plus often they are used to change engines and transmissions. Tanks go through lots of transmissions. But this looks like it was mostly for retrieving broken down vehicles. There were no variations on this throughout its Matchbox history so I can not narrow it down.
    Two free bonus photos here. First is the tank transporter with a Centurion tank and the second is the Sarceren Personnel Carrier.
    The military vehicles were discontinued in the mid 1960s. Probably so they could focus on passenger cars and construction vehicles more.
    Got a deluxe Matchbox Monday coming next week so stay tuned!
