Commonly known as the Mighty Antar, this leviathan 6x4 was for a time at
least, one of the biggest trucks in the world. It was originally developed for
use on oilfields, its role being to carry lengths of pipe over rugged terrain.
With heavier tanks such as the Centurion coming into service, the British
Army started looking for a replacement for the Diamond T, and the Antar
was deemed a suitable stop gap. The military versions were initially
powered by a specially developed Rolls-Royce Meteorite V8 petrol unit
(a cut down version of the V12 Merlin aircraft engine) and the first
vehicles entered service in the form of a ballast tractor in 1951.
A semi-trailer version followed and after various evolutions it was
replaced by the Scammell Commander in the mid-1980s.
