Trying to find this mk2 atkinson was created by The Learner
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the atkinson (pictured below)
It should be powered by a 8v71N and have a 10 speed over drive road ranger
This picture is from when it was owned by my grandfather and located in dromana
Any leads appreciated

Having lived through a pandemic I now understand all the painting of fat people on couches!

there is a white tipper powered by a detriot running around Melbourne with a bobcat. I think he is an ATHS Member and lives out Warrandyte way as it appears at shows. I haven't got a decent photo of it so I hope these old ones from a Whittlesea Truck Show will do

Yes it is similar but the Atkinson in your pics is a mk3
It also has a 5 stud steer axle whereas the one I am trying to locate has a 6 stud
Another sign of a mk3 is the pull up door handle where a mk2 is a push button

The truck has always been green, but it was a darker green like older BP colors, we did repaint the old girl the photo is lighter green, it did have white strips but we changed them with the new paint. I basically cut my teeth driving this old girl, It was ex fuel truck had all the standard extras of the time. The learner is my son if you haven't made the connections. The Atkinson was sold about 11 - 12 years ago from Dromana to Moorooduc. Any info would be handy guessing the truck is not on the road anymore.
