[Majorman]

Early Leyland petrol lorry (as it is British it is not a truck) :0) This one is a long way
from home in the Howards Museum in Wagga-Wagga in Australia.

 

[SweetFeet]

How fast could this travel? It must have been a very bumpy ride.

 

[Richard G.]

What engine is in that Sir?

 

[Majorman]

Leyland's own engine a 55hp six cylinder driving a 4 speed gearbox.

 

[Majorman]

Probably about 20 mph. When this was built we were only just a few years out of the era when a man walked in front with a red flag to warn horse riders. :0)

 

[SweetFeet]

OK... thank you, majorman.

It is hard to believe that era was not really very long ago. My, how times and things change!

 

[Richard G.]

Thanks.
