This book is about one of Leyland Motors' famous models, the Leyland Comet. It covers the period from the introduction of the lorry in 1947 to its withdrawal from the British market in the mid-1970s. This illustrious name continued to be used in the Leyland-DAF era, such is the high regard and respect earned by one of Leyland's finest vehicles not only here, but also overseas. Leyland Comet presents the initial development of the model and the various types which evolved in subsequent years. When it was first introduced, the Leyland Comet was an immediate success and soon became the market leader in the high-quality, medium weight, lorry sector. In the 30 years of production history described in these pages, the Comet was only seriously challenged by its great rival, the AEC Mercury. In its heyday, the Leyland Motors name was synonymous with top quality. Their Comet range maintained and enhanced the company's reputation. Many small haulage firms building a business in the post-war years aspired to a Leyland lorry and felt a great sense of achievement when able to acquire one. This book has been out of print for many years, and has been brought back in 2016 to make this fascinating story available again to Leyland enthusiasts and those with an interest in general transport history. Graham Edge is a trucking journalist and author. (Series: Commercial Vehicles Archive Series) [Subject: Commercial Vehicles, Transportation]

The Leyland Beaver name survived for over forty years from the first appearance of this distinguished model in 1928. Within ten years of its inception there was an almost confusing assortment of Beavers suitable for just about every task a lorry could perform. Leyland Motors had perfected the top-weight four-wheeler and dominated the market for this particular kind of vehicle. After the Second World War, for fifteen years or so, Beavers were often seen as part of wagon and trailer outfits, their lorries exuding strength and reliability. As road transport modernised in the 1960s so Beaver articulated lorries became increasingly popular. Beaver production lasted until 1971 when it was phased out in favour of the '500 series' Buffalo. Because of the longevity of the production of the Beavers the story is quite complex, embracing not just the UK but also the models sold overseas, often in modified forms. Graham Edge charts our way clearly through this history and in his appendices includes chassis and engine details. The photographs, all high quality, are former Leyland archive material housed at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum Trust.The images range from 1928 - and what is believed to be the first Leyland Beaver - to a 1968 'two-pedal' model coupled to a 40 ft trailer, hauling for a steel stockholder.

Rigid eight-wheelers with internal combustion engines were developed as a response to requirements and opportunities embedded in the 1933 Road and Rail Traffic Act. Although AEC was first in the field, in late 1934 or early 1935 Leyland was able to announce its Octopus. By the Second World War the Octopus had become a favourite with operators, known to carry a legal payload economically and reliably. After the war the driveline of the Octopus basically remained unchanged until 1960. Specification options were few, yet the model remained a market leader with lengthy waiting lists for new chassis. The model remained in production until the late 1970s and, as AEC authority Graham edge writes, 'For most of its productive life the Leyland Octopus was the definitive British eight-wheeler lorry.' The many superb photographs in this book range from shots from the 1930s including what is probably the first Octopus chassis and a rare TEW tipper to 1979 and an Octopus 2 which started service that year with a compacting refuse body. The text covers the full production story, and there are Appendices which give chassis and engine details.
