DEANB:
I had some stuff on the Leader but cant find it. I have not looked at the photo you are talking
about but they also offered the Venturer. Now we will wait for “240 Gardner” to come along and bollock as
all for talking rubbish as he knows a thing or two about these Atkinson’s !

Who, me??
Many of the twin steers, called ‘Rear Steer’ by Atkinson, were built for 32T operation, particularly where shorter trailers were in use, prior to the 4-axle 32T outfit coming into common use after the C&U regs were relaxed.
Although superficially similar, the ‘Leader’ was a heavier duty machine launched in October 1970, and designed for 38 ton operation at a time when the manufacturers all fondly believed we were going to get an uplift from 32 to 44T! When the weight increase didn’t happen, most were cut down to 4x2 tractors, as were many earlier Rear Steers.

Yeah “YOU”

Hi, Does anyone recognise this old girl, I stumbled across her in a yard along with a MK2 Marathon in Irthlingborough, I think she may have been an ex Agnew & Lithgow unit originally going by her registration number HSJ950N.

New to Osborne’s of Kilmarnock, apparently, and used to carry whisky. Here it is in 2007, at the Great Dorset Steam Fair:
1975 Atkinson Borderer HSJ950N.Martin Smith

And when in the ownership of Jim Horn:

Later, it passed to Ian Roberts of Carnoustie:

HSJ 950N Atkinson Borderer.Jim Horn

Later still:
Atkinson Borderer HSJ 950N.Gyles Carpenter

Sad to see it falling on hard times now

That motor certainly had a life looking at the number of owners it had !
