Listerj123 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm hopefully going to be a lucky owner of a Leyland hippo mk3b but I'm wondering if anyone knows any shops or websites that sells bits and pieces would love to here back and hopefully keep you all updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listerj123 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 I thought so with the looms ive found a website for brake bits just a shame there's no specialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmortimer334 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 We have just finished the restoration of our 1944 Hippo. We have had to repair or make new parts for it as parts can be hard to get hold of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks great the Leyland, bet that took some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) That looks nice, ..several Hippos have been modified to get a bit more speed by turning the transfer box around, run it in low range, it then works as a step up box Edited August 25, 2020 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It spent 3 years sat in our workshop before we started it really but lockdown gave us a chance to get stuck in, we've spent about 5 months restoring that and a jeep side by side at the same time. I'll start new thread at some point with some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
