Munibug Mini-Skip by Ray Smith Demountables Ltd?

No, sorry.

Normally my source is very reliable, so I am quite sure I know the correct company.

I think I should help a bit.

I was sold under the name of a company from the UK Lancashire region.
And the company name includes the town´s name from this Lancashire area.

Just a wild guess - Blackburn (Mill Hill) Engineering Ltd.?

All I can find is the Reliant Ant was produced by BTB Engineering Ltd. of Blackburn under licence from Reliant Engineering from c.1975
Please unlock as I think I've reached a blank wall......

OMG,

I´m not sure now, if my source really was right.

Now that I read, that BTB was from Blackburn, I can´t really imagine that there was another company from Blackburn, that has produced it.

Still I have a different company name.

Have another try...

I wish I could but I can't find another Blackburn based company that might fit the bill....
The only other name I came across was Blackburn MSA Services Ltd. but I don't think there was any connection to the puzzle vehicle....

It' s really driving me crazy.. It also seems strange to me that there were two separate companies in Blackburn producing the Ant.

Enfield Manufacturing Co in Moscow Mill, Oswaldtwistle?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #40 on:** March 22, 2013, 04:18:09 PM »

Nope.

Hiawatha · « **Reply #41 on:** March 22, 2013, 04:54:04 PM »

That's the new address for Dunn BTB, they moved production of the Ant from Blackburn to Oswaldtwistle (only 7 km.) in 1983.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #42 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:04:23 PM »

As I said, my source says it comes from Blackburn.
