From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 the Imperial War Museum Duxford.[1][2][3][4]
