Morrris FM 420 was a special for the post office with a different shape longer bonnet to make as Sunbar says a 3 seat cab. brochure- Link to "www.freewebs.com" -- Last edit: 2011-12-01 11:12:17

Under the Leyland badging 1970-81 the designation was linked to the gross weight so this turned into the FG 900 at 9 tonnes gross. -- Last edit: 2011-12-01 11:37:54
