    I’m in the process of restoring a 1945 Leyland Hippo. When the time comes to register etc(hopefully next year) will I be able to register with the old army number. I have located a plate on the chassis with the said registration. Than 4bf9c06d-a652-4b68-aee2-7f49fb0ce5b8.mp4 ks

    I’m looking for 2 x 20” wheels to fit Leyland Hippo . The plan is to fit them on the steering axle with 12.00 tyres. I have 22” rims on the front with 10.50 tyres but as most of you know it’s virtually impossible to find those tyres. I can pick up anywhere on mainland uk. Thanks 4bf9c06d-a652-4b68-aee2-7f49fb0ce5b8.mp4

    I have been toying with the idea of putting modern rims & tyres on the front & back.

    Just to update, I have done a deal for the purchase of a Leyland Hippo I can collect the vehicle myself. I drive for O G Owen Transport from Anglesey. Hopefully, I can collect before the end of May. Then the work begins. Thanks to Olivedrabsteptoe for the heads up.

    I m not sure if i was successful in starting a new topic this morning but i ll try again. Im looking to buy a Leyland Hippo. My father drove one at Dinorwig Quarry North Wales about 1967-69 carrying slate from the top of the quarry down to the saw mill at the bottom.It was registered something like Dcc 309e and the second hippo working was I think 310e
