Partridge Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I don't want to be shot for being OMG OFF TOPIC but I've always rather liked the Antars, which are along a similar (ish) vein and were used as tank movers by quite a few armies.They were made by Thorneycroft trucks from the late 40's. morris_ital_lover, Sir Snipes and rml2345 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the British Army use Antars for a long time?

Vantman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I posted this in the Truck Shite thread a while back but I guess it would now fit in here ok.I worked for Blundells and they used this picture on the company calendar,circa 1964/65,i never got to drive either of them as I worked in the parts department,plus I didn't have an HGV licence then. brickwall, mercrocker, Jim Bell and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Ah yes, the gate change 'box. Designed in the early 1930s by Oliver North IIRC and used on the Highwayman into the 1960s. Apparently if you ever managed to master it, removing the metal gate pattern made it easier to use.Big if though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Personally I have a soft spot for the Atkinson 6x6 with the Gardener 150 - very few were made and most that were ended up as gritting wagons or ballast tractors Jim Bell and danthecapriman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rml2345 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Those Atkis are an odd looking combination, particularly compared to the Pickfords Super Constructor which has to be one of the best looking heavy tractors ever made. Bloody good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
