The good old Leyland, Most of us old timers will have driven a Leyland at some time, I drove a Leyland Marethan with the bigger export cab powered by 250 Commins, and at 32tons it was ok.
One thing I regret is not buying a camera all those years back, sadly sometimes now 2+2 makes 5, But this is where your great videos come into play . Thank you.

hi there,as an ex AEC employee i have to say we built the Marathon at southall until we closed in may79, we could not put AEC on the front grille because leyland would not allow, the 8x4 with motor panels cab was made by Scammell Motors at Watford during the80s again most had leyland on the front although a few had Scammell across the front.happy days at AEC !

[@marktonge4225]

The leyland T45 was such a smart looking truck.. ive always wondered what they would of looked like if they weren't killed off by the 95 ..

[@truckinghistorymydiecastco5274]

Yes, they were a nice looking 👌 in their time.

[@krakatoa1200]

Great !! I remember going out with my Dad back in the late 50's in his BRS Leyland Octopus. I ended up on the BRS Mitcheldean with a Beaver artic, later at Ross depot, a Comet. carrying car body parts up to the Midlands they had Scammel couplings, not 5th wheel. when BRS closed down I had a night trunk job in Monmouth where we had Buffalo's and Marathons. (Foden S80's and Volvo F10's too.)

There is The Most Wonderful Black Interstate(r).on the show circuit...Must be seen to be believed..Mayne was Taylors of Bristol.?????on container transport???.A Marvellous Restoration......

[@carlmason4153]

Whats with the "Shit Kicking Music" it cheapens up what is already a cheap video. Leyland trucks should have been the world leaders in Trucks. Served my time as a Mechanic on them, I loved them. Typical English mentality, No investments shareholders creamed off the profits. I well remember the first Scania & Volvos (that were traded in against leyland) Antiquated old crap they were. Soon shut us up tho hey. so so sad.

“Leyland G series, Clydesdales” probably the best looking cab Leyland made, in my opinion. So nice to see a Milk Tanker featured, been waiting for ages for one to pop up. 🤘😎👌m-E-m
