Scammell 'mechanical horse' AFS

I think the registration says AFS 1938 or 1938 so it might be a demonstrator before the war.

There was a Fordson equivalent called the Flea.see

I remember seeing these around at goods stations when I was a kid. They were christened the “mechanical horse”, but I never expected to see one with seats, a water tank and a trailer pump.
