Re: Leicester's Bygone'show old is that Comet then? must be early '60's ?
Re: Leicester's Bygone'sdefinitely pre 1958 they stopped making comets with this cab design the LAD cab came next.....and air brakes much later I would guess this model around 1955.

TAY 473 is still registered on the Gov website! wonder if it is sitting in a barn,waiting to be re-discovered? ![]()
Re: Leicester's Bygone'sHow do I access the government website ? TAY would be leicestershire about 1958 or 1959 .
wayne Robinson
Re: Leicester's Bygone's
go on the Gov.uk site,click on 'check vehicle MOT history'. it has TAY down as Seddon Atkinson Uknown,colour Green,fuel diesel,date first reg. 22 June 1959.
Re: Leicester's Bygone'sThank you very much I have a new investigative tool now.......I think this atkinson was built around 1955 it still has the wooden cab ...and for some reason not registered in the uk until 1959.
