antar Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Not sure if this pictures been on before but it comes from this great old lorry site ! http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~thetyke/id32.htm Evening Andy, That is the Chris Miller ANTAR ued extensively during the building of the Dinorwic pump storage power station in Wales. It is now in the ownership of Fred & John Lawton in Derby who have a collection of about 50 different Thorneycrofts. They still have at least 2 other MK3 ANTAR's which came from DMD Construction in Cardiff. Dave Weedon of York bought the third one off Fred & John. I have a load of photos of the loading and transport of all 3 back to Derby in the mid 90s, 3 low loaders all carrying yellow and black ANTAR's in convoy back up the M50,M5,M6. Once back at the Lawtons storage facility we managed to get all three running so they could be shoehorned into the shed. Must dig out the pictures and post ! John.

Try David Crouch, I was down at his new yard in Market Harborough a few days ago and he had just moved the ex Cooper MK3 into the building down there. John.

The vehicle I am tracing is a Mk3a 50EK54. Regards Most Mk3's were broken up, so I am not hopeful that it has survived....I don't know, does anyone else? The date most commonly given for the last Antar in service is 30th Jan 1985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosrec Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Not all the mk3 Antars had the Motor Panels (rust bucket) cab. The Ex beverley Museum Antar has a totally Fibreglass cab. Fred Lawton owns another example with a glassfibre cab ( oh I wish mine had one too!!!) Visited Musem many many times years ago. Drooled over that antar never realized it was a glass fibre cab. Where the cabs genuine fitted at factory or later additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the cabs genuine fitted at factory or later additions I know three which had G.R.P.cabs. The Ex Chris Miller Antar that is with the Lawton's is another. Whether that was from new or not I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
