Scania Bull Nose T-Cab back on the roads

After sitting in the workshop for nearly 5 years, Bully the famous Scania Bull Nose T-cab tentatively rolls out of the yard and onto British roads once again. Expertly piloted by Stuart, Ridgway’s Managing Director, Bully ventured outside and on the busy roads for a trial run before we make plans to fully restore her to her former glory.

We have owned Bully for over 20 years, she was the pride of our haulage fleet and was capable of hauling 50 ton excavators across the country with her 470 horse power engine. In her life she traveled more than a million miles around Britain, between 2003 and 2018 it’s very likely that you would have seen Bully sailing past on the opposite side of the road, in your rear view mirror, or more likely stuck behind her as she carefully navigated country roads.

By the time Bully had past a million miles and was on her 4th engine it became increasingly obvious that we would need to retire her from service. Too sad to see her leave we decided to keep her in our workshop with the intention of restoring her for shows and other glamourous jobs. After 5 years of steady restoration we managed to put Bully through an MOT and drive her on British roads once again. There is much still more work to do now for the rest of the restoration process, but we are so happy with this milestone and so is Bully.
