ollaboration between a local authority and a farmers' co-op has
led to the restoration of an 80-year-old Thornycroft. The 1917 JType will be installed in a £10m transport and technology museum being built by Hampshire County Council in Basingstoke. The museum's partner in the restoration project is Winchester-based SCATS (Southern Counties Agricultural Trading Society) which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year—it used Thornycroft lorries to deliver animal feed across Hampshire during the early part of the century. Although the restoration has been completed it will be some time before the general public sees the result; building of the new museum does not go out to tender until the spring.
