This is one of the vehicles that took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990.

It's a 1948 Seddon Mk5L and a note in the programme of the event had this to say about it:

Entered by J Longson, Preston, Lancashire

New to Silcox and Son and operated by them until 1980 when it was laid up. Purchased by the present owner in 1985 and restored over a 3 year period.

1966 Atkinson

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995.

It's a 1966 Atkinson 'Black Knight' and the Gardner 100 script on the grille indicates that it has a Gardner diesel engine. A note in the programme of the event gave this information about the vehicle:
