    So we can conclude that naming a vehicle Scarab will not be because it's pretty. Here is the rather unique three-wheel mini-semi-trailer tractor that was used by British railways for local deliveries in the 1950s - the Scammell Scarab.

    Speak for yourself... I think both vehicles are quite good looking.

    Imagine what they would look like with a little bit of chrome, and a whole lotta rust, and some nice wheels... :)

    The early days of the car had a lot of people in it doing innovative things. Now you have to have big companies because they are the only ones that can afford the government regulations.

    I think the design of the Scarab is very cool, but that has to be one of the worst interviews I've ever heard......how many times did he ask him how many were built? That guy needs to stick with lawyerin and leave the journalism to those who know what they're doing.....
