This lorry was new to Mr. William Proudman of Tamworth, Staffordshire in 1932 and he operated it for 30 years and claimed to have covered one million miles during that period. The lorry was used for the transportation of animal feed, fertilisers and other agricultural requirements which included collecting and delivering goods to ports in Northern England. Later in the 1950s and early 1960s, the lorry worked delivering asbestos sheets from a Tamworth manufacturer. In 1962, the lorry was traded in for a Leyland Comet 90 to Brownhills Motor Sales, Staffordshire who were the main Leyland dealer in that area. They used the lorry for promotions and as a show vehicle. On the demise of Brownhills Motor Sales, the lorry was purchased by the present owner who has completely restored it and takes part in rallies all over the country.
