Atkinson Mk I with Taylor Hull cab

The only original model available only in New Zealand was the Mk I with fiberglass cab made by a local company Taylor Hull Fiberglass Products Ltd. The cabin won award at an annual design contest of the New Zealand plastics industry. Only the door handles were of non-local origin.

These cabins could be mounted on any chassis – from 4×2 tractors to 8×4 dump trucks. The main engine for NZ models was 335 bhp Cummins connected with 13-speed gearbox Roadranger. Standard equipment included Jacobs engine brake, power steering ZF and Firestone tires.
