Gerroutotheway!
This was a very low-res B&W image from the same Daimler / PMT publicity series, taken on a grim winters day '64/5.
Sometimes the urge to colourise such things overcomes me, even when things are of such poor quality, they're probably best left alone! I'm guessing the original had been substantially cropped, making a small image.
Anyway, there are two very similar shots in the PMT archive, both showing Daimler Roadliner poster girl 6000 EH climbing Hartshill Bank out of Stoke, and both show it overtaking Guy Invincible 'artics'. Whether the choice of Guy lorry was accidental or on purpose, I can't say. Transport Vehicles (Daimler) Ltd had been part of the Jaguar group since 1960, and they were joined in that enterprise in 1961 by Guy Motors. By the time of this photo, both the bus and the lorry would have come from under the same umbrella organisation.
What always amazes me about this picture is the apparent car on the right, seemingly heading on a collision course with the speeding Roadliner!
