1932 Bull TSQ3 Reg. WG 1567 Chassis No. 226 Engine: Leyland E28 162NO 8 Litre Diesel Gearbox: Leyland 4 speed manual
In 1933, T. Bernon of Falkirk were supplied with this Leyland Bull through the Glasgow depot of Millburn Motors as sales order 19181 dated 22nd November 1932. In 1934/5 the Bull was operated by the large Linlithgow haulage company of William Aitken. During the Second World War it was engaged in costal defence work on the Isle of Skye delivering concrete anti-tank blocks. After the War, it returned to William Aitken where it was rebuilt with a box body. In 1946 the Bull was sold to showman Robert Lovett for £1880 for whom it worked until 1947 when it went to a scrapyard in Bellshill. In 1975, it was purchased by T. N. Thompson for preservation and then by the present owner in 2002. John Kerr and Colin Hepworth have completely rebuilt this rare early Leyland with some advice from the Pyatt brothers.
