dsl ◊ 2018-05-09 16:49	UU 40 ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 01 December 1985 MOT No details held by DVLA Vehicle make: LEYLANDSTRAIGHT8 Date of first registration: July 1929 Cylinder capacity (cc): 5296 cc Fuel type: PETROL Export marker: No Vehicle status: Not taxed Vehicle colour: WHITE See article here, page 17 onwards. Entering ID as DVLA info but seems Leyland Eight may or may not be better, and chassis #2 (UU 40) may be older than 1927 which may be the date of its rebodying by Barker as a road car. And it may be more correct to call it a Leyland-Thomas. Lots of other interesting stuff. Leftovers after other pages include - red convertible on left is 1989 abandoned project for Big Healey type roadster developed in parallel with the MG RV8, known as the DR2 or PR5 project. Sometimes also referred to as an abandoned proposal for the MG F. Prototype was built up on a TVR chassis with Rover V8 - Link to "www.aronline.co.uk" - centre background the gold 2003 Range Stormer concept, with the thing behind looking a bit like an Allegro Estate is the prototype Rover 3500 Estate [SD1]. Green Moke-like thing alongside with canvas back is 1969 Austin Ant [ADO19] - prototype 4wd based on Austin 1100 bits.
