1967 Atkinson 'Silver Knight'

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.

It's a 1967 Atkinson 'Silver Knight' which has a Gardner 6LXB diesel engine and is not listed in the programme of the event. It was there in 1995, though, when the programme of the event said this about it:

Atkinson "Silver Knight" T3046XB, 1967                                                  GBV759E

Entered by    C.J.Gardner for W.H.Bowker Limited, Bamber Bridge, Preston

Owned by the Company since new, this much travelled vehicle remains in original condition, the last engine overhaul having been undertaken in 1978.
