1938 Cub Reg. ARD 157 Chassis No. 200497 Engine: Leyland 4.7 Ltr 29.4 hp Petrol Gearbox: Leyland 4 speed manual
An interesting example of a Leyland Cub which has a coach built horsebox body that was constructed for the Earl of Derby by Vincents of Reading, a company that were pioneers of horsebox building. The construction features ash framing with pine boarding and carries three horses and four grooms. The current owner purchased the vehicle in 1973 whilst he was still at school! Since that time, it has been fully restored with the help of Albert Vaughan, a skilled carpenter. It was returned to the road in 1996 in time for Leyland's Centenary celebrations.
