British built trucks on continental work

stevie wonder:
240 Gardner, on Jan 11 you posted a series of pics, one of the pics shows a LOWE Seddon ATKINSON YKE 445J, do you have the original pic, i would love to get my hands on a good copy, as this is one of the trucks my father used to drive during his long driving history with Lowes Paddock Wood… he may even be one of the guys stood down the side having a chat. :smiley:

The originals would have come from Atkinson Vehicles (London) I think, and were featured in an article about a trip to Rome with YKE 445J, driven by Les Stubberfield. The focus of the article was that this lorry had the first ‘official’ Atkinson sleeper cab. I also knew the lorry several years later, when it was being run an owner driver form Cippenham, Slough, called Bill Donnelly.

Send me a PM with your e-mail and I’ll send you a scan of the article and any other Lowe’s bits I can find.
