The Antar as delivered:
28 feet long, over 10 feet wide and standing 10 feet tall this machine was once one of a fleet operated by the British
Army to transport main battle tanks. Powered by a Rolls Royce straight 8 cylinder supercharged diesel engine the
fully laden vehicle topped 100 tons. Time and the elements have taken their toll however, so this example needed a helping
hand to get to the big Rustytrucks shed.
If you fancy seeing the arrival and unload you can watch the video by clicking the picture above
Anyway here are some pictures showing the Antar in its current condition - plenty to do here!
