Leyland Super 8

 

From the dying days of Leyland Australia, best bits might be the mudflaps. Will be going to Inverell next week so if anyone is mad keen I can have a look at it.

Is that Volvo and Detroit on the mudflaps. Swishy will be discombobulated.

"discombobulated. "

I don't know what it means, but I'm curious to see a photo of Swishy being discombobulated.

Not sure if the Swish has ever been discombobulated
but probly bin
unrepreopdiscombobulated a few times

Actually Leyland were still selling trucks here in 1982 .....how do I know this ?..............anyhoo,.typical POS in a country dealer yard ....five broken old trucks with astronomical prices .

A fellow down the road a bit that Dad worked with a bit, had one with a V8 Perkins motor, I drove a few times for a short distances, it appeared to do the job ok, we had MAN's at the time so it was a bit WTF when you got in it. If you were a bit mechanical and just want to move a few things around every now and then it would probably be a handy old thing, you would be pretty brave if you were going to use it as a everyday truck

I was mainly commenting on the price ...........seen quite a few nice looking Leylands for around $2000.........yeah ,they did make em with V8 Perks ..........cant recall where I last seen one though...........the people next door could probably tell ya.

That auction yard at Gatton got a nice restored Hippo ,too pricey for old iron though.
