Yes! That’s what I meant by ‘art deco aerodynamics’ 
Yeah, I got that. I was just trying to construct a link between the truck design and the user.
In which case you were right, I think! An example of ‘look at me’ design.
If that was the intention then I’d certainly give it a 10. Probably a pig to drive though.
I’m not so sure about the pig to drive. Obvs I never drove one but the old Comet was a fairly simple beast and Pat Kennett used to say it was a real old favourite of his when he was a world trouble-shooter for Leyland in the old days.
Looks more like a MAN than a Volvo to me, as for the rest of it, still puzzled.

Definitely a MAN!
I remember that Atki cab conversion running regularly on the M180 when I used to ship in and out of Killingholme.
Is it still around.?..it’s nigh on 20 years ago now.
He’s kinda spoiled it by removing the 'Space Cab’type hi roof though.
You sure it’s the same motor?
Yes it has had a few alterations over the years i know the guy who restored the cab about three years ago now and they decided to go back to a normal roof in fact the roof lining needed for the sleeper extended cab came from my spare cab, from Atkinson renovation.
Ah I see by that pic it still kinda has a high roof aftet all.
Yeah I’m all for preserving old trucks, I like looking around them at shows etc, …but not so much at the bad taste blinged up ones.
