Re: drawings from past to future
Superb! Now why didn't Atkinson think of that? Those Borderers (or Defenders, if the drawing shows a 6x4) were no competition for the Europeans in the early to mid '70s; but if they'd done as Benkku so neatly draws, we could have had that LHD Euro-spec Borderer (with or without the extra axle) with its Aerodyne-roofed sleeper cab and the usual choice of 8LXB, RR Eagle (the 280 perhaps) or Cummins 290. Alas, they didn't make a LHD version as far as I know. By sheer coincidence this very morning I revived my Atkinson CLT Krupp cab thread and I wonder in amazement how they got the European attempt so wrong. Have a look at my Seddon-Atkinson LHD 400 thread: they produced a competitive and potentially brilliant truck with a decent cab and 335-bhp with LHD but they didn't bother to offer it as a production model, only as a rare option.

Another beauty! Do you live near a fishing port? I remember watching the lorries loading up in Scotland at fishing ports when I was a wee laddie. It always seems impossible until it's done.

Re: drawings from past to futurePillaging over for the season so I have lifted the Ship out of the water and taking it to dry undercover storage for repairs and re varnish ready for new season in 2018 ![]()

Re: drawings from past to future
Blimey Bewick that ain't big enough for any self respecting pillager.You'll only get as far as Liverpool with that and they've got nothing worth nicking and probably won't even make it across the Solway to nick some malts off the Scottish on a good day. ![]() ![]() This is a real one.Around 5m wide and 23 m long. ![]() http://www.khm.uio.no/english/visit-us/ ... dship.html

Only difference "CF" is that my one floats ! Yours doesn't mate ! ![]()
Re: drawings from past to future
Being able to float on Lake Windermere doesn't cut it. ![]() ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkMVsNEwvX0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XORSpUUy0lQ Doubt if that lack of free board could handle a proper Atlantic swell without getting swamped though. ![]() ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS-KZXiV8DQ
Re: drawings from past to futureProbably best used for fishing benkku ! not much good for pillaging not much space for the plunder, lager beer maybe, but you would be drunk by the time you hit the beach which would probably be up-side down with no oars ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
Re: drawings from past to futureHave you missed a trick, CF? This drawing was posted about 14 postings up the page in your honour and I notice you haven't responded!

Re: drawings from past to future
Unlike the Guy sadly even with the most optimistic what could have been will a 6 wheeler 8 v 71 powered Bedford Big J with a Fuller was never going to happen because absolutely nothing would fit. ![]() ![]() But if bma could only get that CV12 powered classic Pete with Rolls grille done. ![]() ![]()
Re: drawings from past to futuregot a bigger on too,it has a 8 potgardner for helpengine ,goes nice ![]()
Re: drawings from past to futureSpot on bma. and if that is "CF" approaching in that "wee fishing smack" can I suggest that you rev the 8LXB up and tack to "port"? but don't forget to throw him a Life belt Oh! and it isn't far to shore is it ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: drawings from past to future
Ah-ha! You have revived the Rolls Royce Eagle-engined long-hauler with the Motor Panels sleeper and 9-sp Fuller - brilliant! Robert ![]() Lorries of Arabia
