Welsh Border and Mid Wales Hauliers 1950's onwards

Dave the Renegade:

An Atkinson eight legger with a sleeper conversion.

That would seem to be a W & J Riding sleeper conversion - either an ex-Riding cab from one of their Borderers, or a conversion they did for a third party customer. The back windows are the giveaway, along with the one-piece roof.

The roof does look rather like Riding blue.

An 8LXB in the other Atki wrecker.

XDW 878K is in one of the Wynns books, listed as being one of 3 Atkinson Venturers bought in 1972 [with XDW 578K and XDW 877K]. Around 1980 converted to wrecker using body and crane from Diamond T PDW 321, transferred to Stafford in 1982, around 1983 sold to Ross Roadways, Whitchurch, Ross on Wye, sold for preservation around 2002.

Wynns must have liked them as they bought another 5 Venturers the following year.
