Details

The Leyland Comet was introduced in 1947 as a "world truck". Being aimed at export markets, its styling was typically "transatlantic" making it popular in countries where American vehicles had been sold in the past, as well as in Britain. The Comet proved to be competitively priced and superior to the average mass-produced truck, making it a useful basis for specialist conversions, including tankers of which this model is an example. Limited Edition 5,000 pcs. (with certificate)
