HHT anyone?

Very much enjoyed the brochure item in the February issue on Scammell and associated variants. I have a question regarding a tenuous link with Scammell, namely the way the Contractor chassis was used as a basis for those super haulers of the 70/80s, the HHT’s, home made by Heanor Haulage. I well remember the first three powered by the Detroitengines. I do know other trucks were built and various engines, e.g. Caterpillar were used by Heanor and subsequent buyers of the trucks. Heanor sold on to such as Shepherd Hill and Johnson’s of Barton. So, my question is, does anyone have a preserved HHT for showing nowadays?
