Some Fabulous lorries here , full of envy, and lots and lots of Memories xxxx,,,,,Spent many hours living in Atkinson Tractors.....😊
My old Dad's pride & joy was his Atki 6 wheel unit ....Cummins NH 220 & ZF gearbox...he took it all over the UK & it shone...think it broke his heart when it was taken from him in a re-allocation. A good driver forms an unbreakable bond with his vehicle I always think....They were happier days..
Can't beat a "Seddy Acky" 😁
Can we PLEASE go back to the 60's?
So nice British truck👍
Oh my god this is in Leyland!!!
In 88 I would of been 9
Born, bred, raised and still here.
I remember the old Leyland motors buildings before they demolished them.
The museum is still here tho 🙏🏼
Wounder how many of these Atkinsons servive today
Wonder how many have survived from this great film. Thanks for posting.
Just thinking the same question...
Marvellous! As Max Boyce used to say, "I.... was there!"
Ah... thank you for your message... so glad you like it!
Plywood across the seats, and an old coat, and every one was a sleeper cab... 😂
Drove two of these in the day on general haulage. No. 1 Johnson's wrecker, MDT was an ex Irish motor bought by Norman Billington at Lancaster and No.2 STF as K & P Iddon. I think I was the last to have nights out in this one.
Thanks for sharing this. I've got a mk1 in Australia.
Atkinson vehicles were great in their day and I remember most of these hauliers and I thought Suttons of St Helens would be there, they had a massive fleet of Atkis, they were probably there best customer, the worst thing to happen to Atkinson was when Seddon bought them and it was all down hill from then on. The tractor units they made with that useless piece of junk Perkins V8 510 engine was a disaster with the constant head gasket problems they had, Seddon certainly made a balls up of Atkinson by not continuing with their quality truck building policy and both company's paid the price for that folly along with the rest of the British truck industry which at one time lead the world.
Drove Atkins all over Europe never let me down last one did full circle of clock never let me Dow n once started you new it would keep golng
Hi Tony.... so pleased you like the film... more to come... keep an eye out!
What a beauty the Lynx wrecker at 9:30 is.
Wouldn't of thought they be restoring old Atkinson borderer in 88 some of em must not been 20 year old
Many of these were mid seventies motors so only about 12 or 13 years old, mind you there were still a few Atkinsons working in 1988.
