Leyland Retriever
What is your favourite lorry of all time?
Leyland first used the model name "Retriever" in the 1930s when it was applied to the WLW1 chassis, a cross-country six-wheeler, phased out in 1942. It was revived in 1964 for a 6x4 chassis designed primarily for tipper/mixer applications. The Leyland Retriever lorries were commonly seen displaying the Ready Mixed Concrete livery, fitted with what Leyland described as the "Vista-Vue all steel luxury cab". Elsewhere in the industry this type of cab was known as the LAD cab, it being Motor Panels production shared by Leyland, Albion and Dodge.
