I can tell you what happened to Garners (CM, April 15).
The company produced interesting vehicles and began as Moseley Motor Works in 1907 and change its title to Henry Garner Ltc in 1909. Maximum output was in the lush Twenties a: Garner Motors Ltd, the name assumed in 1927; then in 1933 the business was absorbed by Sentinel and eventually — after the war — Garner traditions could be traced in the underfloor-engined goods vehicles built at Shrewsbury.
In the meantime a quite "with it" (for the Thirties) range of lorries appeared under the Garner name, ceasing, however, with the outbreak of the 1939-45 war.
I am a Class 1 hgv driver myself and will be back on the road in September. In my opinion Atkinsons are the top, when it comes to what you expect from an hgv.
