HRS:
Thornycroft’s “Mighty Antar” which was first shown at the Earls Court Show in 1950. At its release it was Britain’s most powerful
vehicle with a 250 bhp Meteorite engine. Anyone drive one ■■

Morning Dean, yes, many years ago on an assesment, 1963, all I remember was the room in the cab and the 2 stick box, then the more managable Militant, AEC. still 2 sticks though.

Harvey ,your back ! :smiley: Glad someone drove the Antar,will do a bit on them soon. :wink:

MANTRONIC:
“robthedog”

Question for you Welsh boys are Smarts still operating haven’t seen any of theres for a long time I remember Gareth Smart had a very smart Red FH ]

Hey Dean ,yes Smarts still operating from Talachddu nr Brecon that pic of the FH was when they were doing containers out of Southampton,gave that up years ago with several motors based down their .
The red FH i think was driven by the bosses wife Anita with the wording on cab door -Never under estimate the strength of a woman - I last saw her on timber work
Thanx for those Kelvedon pics Dean this thread just goes like lightning ! The S W Roberts Volvo tanker is from Whitland see them most days on the Brecon bypass
And that Seddon of Pritchards another South Wales gem ! thanx again Dean ,MT

Good stuff “MT”. That explains why i used to see Smarts regularly then if they had some motors running out of Southampton. :smiley: :wink:

Heres another one of Smarts.
