ive got some pics taken at the sed ak stand at i think the first truck fest at peterboro in the early 80s,one of them was a pic of a new 401 in bexton & smith colours of coalville who were big sed ak users in the 80s,i will try to work out how to put pics on here.
Andy,
Funny you should ask for Sedd Atki photos, working at a dealership where we used to sell them, I was cleaning a cupboard out for space a few weeks ago and came across a load of old customer photos that used to have Atkis from us.
Hope you enjoy.
Regards
Ant

Anyone got any picture of Seddon Aktis?Andy, this is an identical photo of the last Seddon Atkinson that I drove in the U.K. This one was driven by John Harrison.
Last month I was over in the U.K. and I had a drink with John who I first worked with in 1973. John was a fitter and lives in Oldham and when I asked him had he got any old photo’s of lorries he said hundreds of them in the attic, I will send you some. Two days ago I received a large envelope and I had no idea of what was inside it. When I opened it I couldn’t believe it, loads of old pictures of Seddons, mainly in black and white. I think you will like them so I will try and post them.
Regards Steve.
Here is the tipper I was driving at the beginning of last year
235 horses

Here is a trio of Seddon Atki’s seen at this years Trans Pennine Run

To be fair. The Strato was a decent truck, ■■■■■■■■ Twin Splitter and a DAF cab. it was too little too late though.

wheel nut micheal baddeley is still about my dad worked for him for a few years on nights mainly. when i was in winsford a few months back i noticed he was running older trucks when my old man was there 85-92 it was mainly erf s and iveco turbos all well maintained and always looking like they were on the way to a show but i think mike who was a really nice chap has let his trucks show there age a bit now although i have no doubt they will still be maintained meticulously
