High on the list of ‘best trucks I’ve driven’, with a brilliant spec; 525 ■■■■■■■■ 18 speed RR and Meritor 52,000lb diffs.
The backloading wasn’t a lot of fun.

Not sure where this would be.

Edit Had a Google and it’s Israel.
Hi Eddie, Judging by the wheel centres, and the forward cabs, I think these could be a Leyland Leopard bus/coach chassis.
Cheers, Ray.

Double post 
A couple of pics taken yesterday whilst out walking the dog. The first is HMS Glasgow which is the Royal Navy’s newest ship being built on the River Clyde. This ship is classified as a frigate which are normally quite moderate in size but I can tell you that this one is huge. It’s nearly as wide as a WW2 aircraft carrier.
The second pic is a beautifully restored landrover that I have watched being brought back to life over the past few years.

It certainly is beautifully restored but those Landies were deadly at night, with the headlights that close together they seemed to be much further off than they were.
They changed them later of course, was there a change in the law?

Yes, I believe the law changed in export markets.
The original, Series 1 had 5¾" headlights behind the grill. They were mounted on swivels, to be used as work lights in the engine bay, a feature unashamedly copied from WW II Jeeps. The Land Rover was developed on an exWW II Jeep chassis, from drawings in sand, by Maurice Wilks. An interesting history, it was supposed to be a stop-gap model, until sedan car sale picked up, post WW ll.

Thanks mate, I noticed that later models had them mounted more sensibly in the wings.

The headlights on my “lights behind” Land-Rover don’t swivel, there’d be no point as one is completely separated from the engine bay by the radiator panel, the other is accessible from the engine bay but if swivelled would mostly be shining on the battery that’s mounted right behind it. It may have been the original intention as the first prototype centre steer LR had a lot more in common with the Jeep but the eventual production vehicles were a lot different.

Beautiful Series 1, is it yours Bernard? A friend has a very early one 48-49, the lights on his will turn. The parking lights are on the bulkhead, below the windscreen.
