Dave the Renegade:
Seen in one of the firms yards.I remember Evans’ had a Turbo Gardner in an ERF which could easily keep up with my F88.
Could well have done Casey,but Roy Edwards who owns M A Evans was a big user of Gardner 240’s,he even had a Guy Big J with one,but certain people don’t believe it.
Cheers Dave.
I seem to think that the “racing” Gardner was in a C-series, Dave. Can’t remember the name of the driver (big built chap) but I recall that he had previously driven a highly-polished Scania for Evans.

I don’t think Roy Edwards has bought anything other than Scania’s for well over twenty years Casey.He did have a few Sed/Atki L10 325bhp units between the ERF’s and the Scania’s.
Cheers Dave.
That would have been in the early-mid '80s I reckon, when a stack of us were hauling stone to the South East, backloading with soya meal, maize glutin, ■■■■ seed meal, etc.

The bloke you mention sounds like Brian Kitchen,not that tall,but thick set.He now works as a fitter for Scania agents West Pennine in Knighton.
Cheers Dave.
