The fantastic little video is of the 2023 Atkinson Gathering at Sandtoft Doncaster. The video contains the sites and sounds of a true British classic lorry, from Gardner powered, to Cummins ad Rolls Royce there is something for all.
Give me a cummins powered Atki any day of the week. I drove them. 1st Atki was a 180 Gardner then had a 205 cummins then had a 250 cummins. I loved the 250
This video brought back some lovely memories of me sat as a kid with my dad driving around the country on general haulage just the sound of the engine is magical no frills you felt every bump in the road. Thank you 😊😊
Love seeing these old wagons, as a kid of about 10 me and a mate used to sit on an overhead bridge as lorries came out of a quarry and just watch them. That would have been 1979 ish….
I've watched this video a time or two now, I'd forgotten how little steering lock them old girls had compared to today's motors. You've produced an excellent video. I just hope I can visit next year.
Great video and I see the yellow twin axle Atkinson back on home ground (It was based in Scunthorpe in the 90's and painted green).I know Keadby Bridge as I used to work as a Welder at Sandtoft in the late 1980's and then used to go to an Amateur Radio Club next to the museum over 20 years ago, I think it is still there.I just wish I knew you were there.....Dave
Some great footage there Richard. A very good turnout too. Thanks for the mention. Was great being in the passenger seat of Lawrence Buxton’s other 8 wheeler professionally piloted by Andrew Turner. Thanks for taking the time to edit this video and to all those that contributed their clips and footage. 👍
There’s a former Australian Atkinson in this video - the red and white one with registration KWN45L. The cab on KWN45L was built by a Australian company now long gone called Reinforced Plastics - Reinforced Plastics was based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
On the off chance of anyone watching this video I’m looking for some pictures of Morfa Transport of South Wales Atkinson’s . Please leave a reply if anyone can help . Thanks.
If a colonial cousin wanted to attend this show, what time of year would he need to cross the pond? Is there a specific time and place each year? I have a small obsession with Atkinson/ Seddon Atkinson lorries. Cheers
