drawings from past to future

Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke (if from the north), was long distance?
When Middle East work was readily available?.
When driving a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road?
Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure?

What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us.
This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days

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.

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. :twisted: :lol:

This is a real one.Around 5m wide and 23 m long. :wink:

Doubt if that lack of free board could handle a proper Atlantic swell without getting swamped though. :shock: :D

Probably 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 :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers benkku Dennis.

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. :twisted: :lol:

But if bma could only get that CV12 powered classic Pete with Rolls grille done. :wink: :D

Spot 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 :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers benkku Dennis.
