Hi Charlie,
I've got these 4.










The last one is based on the Y3 Limited Edition 'Red Crown' Yesteryear, the other Model T on the standard Y3 tankers.
Did your model using the 'Red Crown' donor model come in its own ATM08 box? Mine was part of a 2 model set ATM GS-01.



Do you have this? And the associated ATM09 Petro Canada models?

Horace Dunkley, who you probably know was a Yesteryear collector held in high esteem, had several other versions of the ATM08 tankers. I'll post a photo of them when I get a chance.

that's a very nice set Peter.

Hi Francipe
My Y3 'Red Crown' yesteryear donor model also came from the set ATM-GS01. This is a limited edition gift set (1 of 14).
Yes I used to read the interesting articles that Horace wrote on MICA mags. There is a wealth of information for the avid collector.
As I mentioned in a different post, there are more variations & it is very hard if not impossible for any collector to acquire an example of each model.
I look forward to see photos of the other versions. Thanks!
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Here's the baseplates from my ATM-GS01 set






As you can see, they're identical to your models and used the Y3 Red Crown issue 1 as the donor model.

Age is a dreadful thing and the extra models Horace had are part of the ATM-09 Petro Canada set.

The only other Ultramar model Horace had is this very rare special presentation item

the last one shown by you Peter is an old code-3 which the later code-2 design was based on.
