Leyland Tractors

It was created after the merger of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) with Leyland Motors to form British Leyland in 1968.

Nuffield Tractors had been started after World War II by Lord Nuffield owner of Morris Motors Limited which had become part of BMC in 1951.

After the merger Leyland changed the colour from the Poppy Red of Nuffield to two tone blue which would eventually last right up to the early 1980s.

The bodywork and colour scheme was changed, and Leyland introduced its own Cab to comply with safety regulations.
