Leyland FV1201, one of two built, both scrapped.
18litre V8, 4 valves & 2 plugs per cylinder, mechanical injection, speed 72kph consumption .89l/km. (Staring to sound like Tim The Toolman Taylor) Must have been a magnificent sight and sound, you have to have a second look to realise how big this beauty was, and to think The FV1000 was BIGGER. Thanks for the Pic David, love this sort of thing. Rich

Another?
Is this the other one? Also is this the Merlin- and Meteor-derived Meteriote?

Could'nt say whether that was the other, or the same one, although that pic is credited as the first prototype being shown at the 1956 FVRDE exhibition, which explains the veiwng platform in both photos.
As a point of inerest, at least one of these trucks was converted to duals on the back two axles, and these were all driven axles, with plans for the double chain set up on the back bogies(a'la Scammell) As for the motor, perhaps someone has the software to enhance the plaque at the bottom. Rich
