240 Gardner:
Punchy Dan:
Wasn’t there another Atki conversion from Norfolk with a 350 ■■■■■■■ fitted possibly pulled a tipper trailer ?There certainly was: Terry Godbold’s Borderer, HER 806N - bought from Knowles/Wisbech Roadways as a 2-year-old in 1977, as I recall.
At some point, the 220 ■■■■■■■ was dragged out and replaced with a 14 litre 250, a tag axle was added to run at 38T and then a turbo ■■■■■■■ went in, I think from a Transcon.
The last update was a trip to Longton Coacraft in Leyland for a sleeper pod and new paint job - it had run in the Knowles orange until then

It’s notoriously quick!
Morning Chris,
Thank you Chris for all the information and the pictures on the Atki’s, Cheer’s Pete
Edit: Chris, that orange ERF parked next to the Atki, would you know if it is ex Howard Shipping and is a tag axle?
