1946 Leyland Beaver

This was one of the vehicles in the 'Commercial Vehicles over 3 tons' class at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester, in September 1996.

It's a 1946 Leyland Beaver 12IB, and the programme of the event showed this information about the truck:

This vehicle, operated new by Beverley's Beers of Wakefield, was obtained in a derelict condition

in 1983. A pictorial description of the major restoration undertaken over a five year period at the
