hippo Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 My name is Julian and my partner and I have two Leyland Hippo GS trucks both from 1944, We are currently looking for british MV owners in the home counties to join our small but growing RASC living history group. We are particularly after some 3 tonners. We will be taking on leyland to normandy at the end of next week, and collecting the second truck from Stroud on Monday.
