I recently received this email from Clive Weston who is looking for his father’s 6 wheeler Atkinson
Alan
My father purchased a new Atkinson truck in or about 1942 ( I was 2 years old then ) . Vehicle reg # was GND 824 and registered in Manchester . Specification - 6 wheeled layout , Gardner 6LW , David Brown gearbox , and Kirstall axles.
I travelled many miles in that truck until many haulage Companies were Nationalised ( BRS ) in early 1950s.
I would dearly like to see and hear ( even get a ride in ) a similar truck .
Work took me to Aberdeen / Shire and that’s where I live now. However travel is not a problem - with friends and family all over the UK
Do you know of any clubs or owners where one of these truck may still be alive ■■?.
