Once hailed as a game-changer for British trucks, the Leyland TL12 engine ended up being more of a curse than a blessing.

Join us as we uncover the truth behind one of the most controversial engines in British lorry history. “Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
