Early 1920s (probably 1923) Leyland 2-ton van for J. Lyons and Co. Possibly Leyland C ![]() 1923 Leyland range 30cwt, 2-ton, 3-ton, 4-ton, 5-ton and 6-ton, plus the 4-ton RAF type rebuilt Subsidy A (3-ton as WD). 30cwt to 6-ton known as G-types or G-range 'G1' to 'G8' trucks and passenger chassis, but separate types not known for 2-ton, 3-ton, 5-ton and 6-ton. G2, G4, G6 and G8 with double-reduction back axles (normally trucks) G3, G5 and G7 with worm drive (normally passenger vehicles) http://www.leylandsociety.co.uk/publications/torque/pdf/Torque003.pdf Not the Leyland Subsidy B 30-cwt which never proved very practicable, and after a few months was discarded by the military authorities. Compared with Leyland Subsidy A 3-ton trucks there would be relatively few remaining in 1919. -- Last edit: 2014-08-22 11:08:30 |
