I'm not about to argue. On reflection all the ergonomic cab four-wheelers were probably Super Comets.

Until today I wasn't aware a 'Super Comet' even existed. ;)

Yes, I had a go at finding pictures of it, with no luck however. Either preserved or it continued to occasionally find work of some sort until recently.

The only extra information I can find is that SHX 820F appears to be one of a batch of at least ten Leyland Super Comet originally operated by the Ministry of Public Building and Works. None of the others appear to have survived for the forty plus years that SHX 820F has.

Googling I found a fine picture on ebay of it in fairground use still looking very much the same , so I guess thats how it survived till 2009 at least.
