This is the one which belongs to Ian Cox, a very nice gentleman who I had the
pleasure of meeting briefly when he was in the UK about 5 years ago.

I have some factory literature, press photos and suchlike, plus the Atlas
Register records - the records detail 20-30 Atlases and derivatives which
survived in the UK as late as the early 1990s. I know of the current
whereabouts of a handful and I technically own a half share in one of the few
surviving Atlas Pickups, though this has been in a dismantled state for some
years. Other than Ian's van, I am not aware of any other survivors in the
North American continent, but I am several thousand miles away..... :-) There
should be a reasonable number of Standard 20s surviving in India - this was a
2138cc wet liner TR engined variant produced from around 1962 to 1968 in the
UK, and produced in some form in India until the early 1980s at least,
Cheers,
Bill.
