Leyland Retriever

The Leyland Retriever was a 6x4 truck produced by Leyland Motors for the British Army between 1939 and 1945.

It had a 6-litre, 4 cylinder overhead camshaft petrol engine.

General Montgomery used one as his caravan during the Second World War.

This is now on display at now the Imperial War Museum Duxford.
