WHAMFARM1:
Does anyone have any pictures of the old Atkinson factory at Winery Lane…seems to be very little coming up via google.
Are you looking for photos of the outside or the inside? There are some on Flickr and also the Atkinson group on Facebook
Atkinson Winery Lane, new Seddon Atkinsons can be seen parked up outside. Not my picture…
■■■■■■■ turbo on the back ?

I wonder if anyone on the site has copies of the Atki Boderer spec sheets ? they may shed some light on who’s and what that engine is. Cheers Dennis.

Pipe work for the hand brake looks a bit too close to the exhaust for my liking, I am thinking that this may of had an engine (■■■■■■■■ change or at least the manifold changed thus allowing the exhaust stack to be fitted…

A later version of that leaflet shows the only Borderer listed with a turbo engine, which was the 280 Rolls. For turbo ■■■■■■■■ you would be into Venturer territory
As a matter of interest I wonder just how many Atkinson Borderers were built with the RR engine, I know Dobsons of Edinburgh ( Rylands Group) ran some but I never could recall any others, well at least not hauliers, but no doubt there were some big own account fleets that were tempted on price ! Cheers Bewick.

1970/71 i would say from what was on it photo and spec wise, the cab roof changed around late k-reg start of L-reg as you say the Defender came with
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ road/ranger.
A o/d bought one same spec that was on an L-plate.
