A brief history of the Vehicle
No.16 was previously owned by the Coupland family, and before that it belonged to the Cullens in Ireland, so it has a history of showland use.
Generally used to haul the Gallopers, No.16 also houses one of the main generators for powering equipment.
No.16 Ugly replaced a Scammell named Old Ugly, which is no longer with the family. Old Ugly was initially named Superior by John Carter, but when it went out in its first season in pink undercoat everyone said how ugly it looked, and the name stuck.
No.16 used to be No.3 in the fleet when it replaced a Scammell named Old Ugly however when the Scammell Showtrac was purchased it was renumbered from No.3 to No.16.
