The fibreglass cab shown commenced in 1958, but the white shape to the left of the "Gardner" logo is a knight's helmet, suggesting that this is one of the early 1960s "Black Knight" range of 4, 6 and 8 wheeled rigids. "Silver Knight" were tractor units and "Gold Knight" were short wheelbase heavy duty chassis for truck mixers and tippers.

Looks like its the slightly disguised 1974 Atkinson Searcher TGX497M with rare factory-fitted sleeper cab. Even the sheeted load is the same.

The very same, Sunbar - new to (Dial All Roads) Transport. To be REALLY picky, the sleeper isn't factory fitted - it was the 'official' Atkinson sleeper conversion, but was carried out on already completed vehicles, by a coachbuilder in Kent. All orders for them were processed by Atkinson Vehicles (London) Ltd
