I’ve had another look at the source (Grace’s Guide) and the only text is as follows “1959 Thornycroft Swift Shore”.

Yes it belongs to the Coakes from Hampshire who have several preserved motors.

It’s always a pleasure to see that motor Ralph. Hope to see it at the Tyne Tees on the first Sunday in June. Regards Kev.
I´m scanning some photos taken in England in the mid seventies, and I found this vehicle. Can anyone help me to identify the maker of it…could it be a bus chassis the rebuilt for this purpose? 
I didn´t know where to post it, so I tried here

The badge on the front looks like a Daimler one to me.
EDIT: Have a look here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr-bg/6914877693/
It is a Daimler Roadliner SR6C rear engined with ■■■■■■■ V6 single deck bus chassis JGW 16K , registered to the Road Research Laboratory.A 1968 chassis not registered until 1972 clearly it has a Daimler badge on the front, characteristic white steering wheel and instrument binacle plus the front overhang with Daimler style front hub bearing covers. The thing that looks like a small motor bike behind the front wheel must be some sort of road monitoring device. I doubt if this vehicle would ever complete any great mileage during its time with the RRL as most Daimler SR6Cs were very unreliable due to the ■■■■■■■ V6’s performance a fact born out when the same engine was fitted to Ford D 1000 lorries.

It is a motorbike with its own H number plate -looks like someone has just parked it there,probably the driver?
Thank you both for the help with the yellow Daimler , I would never guess that. Was it a standard cab on it, or was it custom built? The motorbike was probably mounted there for a test-drive without driver on it, collecting data from it in the lorry… I guess
Here´s another photo from Mira, showing a lorry participating in a quiet heavy vehicle project in 1975… and it looks like the sleeper has a really good air-condition, and outside plumbing 
Edit: Using a magnifying glass I found out that the motorbikes number plate is HRD113L

Hopefully, at the CVC Gaydon show in acouple of weeks there will be a 1957 Scammell Constructor that has come out fo MIRA where it was used as a dynamometer. It will be its first public outing.

I also did a bit of magnifying and the motorbike is attached and is without a seatpad, the RD reg was Berkshire.
