I look forward to seeing that
My first Leyland as a paid driver was a Leyland Super Comet, obviously I thought it was brilliant. My second for the same employer was a Leyland Bison which was a good lorry. After several other makes I moved onto a Leyland Marathon unit which I drove for several years & I loved that old thing, it only did 100ks flat out but it’d do it all night.
After I went self employed (big mistake) I had a Leyland Constructor 6 wheeler which was the roughest ride I ever had before I put a new Isringhausen air seat in it which transformed that lorry. Next came my first brand new & favourite lorry which was a Leyland DAF 85CF 8 wheeler with a twin splitter box in it, they were all good lorries for the job & I don’t regret any of them.

Heres a perfect example , this replaced a Leyland Consructor, & is still going strong to-day, Twin splitter box a nice wagon to drive, Regards Larry
My youngest sons first wagon, He was thrown in at the deepend as you can see by the snowy weather. Our Nigel is still driving for J.R.Adams.
