The Scammell Constructor 8 was the eight-wheeled version of the Leyland Roadtrain, a heavy range with the new C40 tilt cab that Leyland wanted to develop at the end of the 1970s. Knowing Scammell's pre-eminence in the field, Leyland entrusted the eight-wheeler version to Scammell, which at last gave Scammell access to a modern tilt cab. The Roadtrain was the UK forward control counterpart of the bonneted Landtrain, whose development Scammell also handled as the S24. Scammell used the same cab for the S26 range, which supplemented the lower-powered Leyland Roadtrains with premium tractors.
