Great War truck Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 This is a spin off from a topic brought up on HMVF some years ago, but does anybody know of any surviving Leyland Hippo tractor units for Thor missiles? More info on them here: Thor – Imperial War Museum Images – The Breckland Society (brecsoc.org.uk) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B series Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Surprised you have had no replies to your question. There were very few Leyland Hippo Mk II type 19H 6x4, Tractors, Semi trailer, Special, modified for the Thor transporters. I understand that a company called Davies completed the modifications but I have no details. Of the modified tractors that I am aware the earliest is ERM 06AN99 and the last one was 07AN79, so could be 80. But maybe not all tractors in that range were modified, but I know of 14 modified tractors. Most were sold via the auctions at Ruddington during 1965/66. I don't know if any survive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
