Customised Borderer
On one of those occasions I had to make an emergency pit stop at Abington services when leaving Scotland with a less then fit bus...(can't remember whether it was the Dodge which lost it's battery, the Dodge which suffered total brake failure or the seizing Iveco), but along side me drew this impressive beast. Being a 'bus' man, but with a passing interest in British built lorries, I knew it had to be photographed. How much of this Cummins powered Atkinson Borderer was as it left the Preston factory, I don't know, but to me, the sleeper cab, raised roof and tag axle might be later additions(?) I gather from subsequent conversation that the firm 'J Huddleston' were something of a haulage legend amongst enthusiasts.
