1951 Leyland Comet.jpg

Joe Hupp (Biglorryblog's New South Wales special reporter) has sent me this shot from down-under and says: "Hi Brian, this photo is of a 1951 Leyland Comet 90, taken on my mobile phone camera at the Easter Bush Rally which was held in Dubbo, NSW Sunday 12/4/2009! The truck has had a complete restoration and repaint and is all original apart from the rear axle, which is from a Thames Trader - the truck's rear had been pushed in when the current owner found it!

  • Engine:             Leyland 350 cu. in. inline 6 cylinder diesel, 90hp
  • Transmission:    5 speed main with 2 speed diff (from a Thames Trader)
  • Suspension:      Leaf springs

This truck is also for sale - and has been for a while! A$16000 and she's your's!

Hope this helps with understanding her! Joe." Sounds like a snip to me Joe... Now where did I leave my wallet?
