I too had to stand up to drive a TK once 
. It was heavily laden Luton rigid 16 tonner and the auto-lube had packed up. This meant a lot of far ting on the roundabouts between Truro and Canterbury 
.
Reversing or slow speed manoeuvres in my Atki normally meant standing up.
Easier to get more power through on the āmandraulicā steering system.
No bashed head in that though, the Atki engineers were soo considerate of driver welfare. 
Looks terribly shaky!
Anyone remember the Leyland Terrier? What about Roadline?

Only the Boxer and Mastiff.
Our Boxers were available with the Australian developed 4.4 litre V8 petrol engine.
I had a Terrier on Tufnells parcells many moons a go plus a Ford Cargo, Buzzer
Were Roadline what was BRS parcels ?
I liked the gate change (but Iām a bit āstrangeā). The only downside was you couldnāt go across the gate #6 to #1 was a bit of a bumma. 
We had a Leyland Terrier flatbed in the early 1970ās when I worked at Louis Reece in Wigan.

That was the name I was trying to think of.

It was a bt ambiguous, but I think he was, as usual, him being an expert about something heās never done. He was happy for you to believe his ambiguity, with no attempt to clarify.
Did Leyland put the double headlights on this?
