The A6 claims another victim. One time WTT collection vehicle, ex MPTE Atlantean 1300, sits in the layby at Dove Holes after the climb proved a little too much for her. This was en route to Crich in August 2006. Luckily we were carrying a spare drum of water and got back on the road after giving her time to cool down. She made it there and back although later showed signs of a head gasket problem.

This would never happen with an ex Manchester Atlantean ;-) ... Well, except for that time we tried it with 8763 and the high water temperature buzzer was screaming on both ascents to Buxton. Luckily we didn't get to this stage.

FEK 3F seen in February 2011 while up for sale by Chelmsford Borough Council. Sealed bids were invited and sadly we didn't win. I understand it was bought by someone in France but I don't know if it ever made it there.
