Wasn’t the Terrier introduced in 1973? |

Terrier introduced September 1972 I believe . |

Looking at the height of the turn signal only without the side-light above the line of the wheel arch this could be the BMC based 'Pilot' cab and the side light was on the front.... /vehicle_116743-Leyland-Terrier-1971.html ...and not the later G-series which was both larger and lower down plus combined with the side-light... /vehicle_463098-Leyland-Terrier-1973.html edit: confirmed also by it being clearly a 'bottom-mounted' turn sidnal (Pilot) not 'side-mounted/wide base' turn signal & side-light (G-series) From past investigations... The Pilot cabbed 1971 Leyland Terrier was introduced in August 1970 to replace the heavier FG trucks (so not badged 'BMC' Terrier in this case) The G-series cabbed version of Leyland Terrier introduced September 1972 as stated above - agreed. -- Last edit: 2014-08-19 17:24:59 |

Fascinating stuff for indicator buffs .gif ":)") But still why the question ?This is an early Terrier brochure, 71 according to ebay ad  -![[Image: kgrhqfncfh105mfgobsdpl4itug60_57.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3808/kgrhqfncfh105mfgobsdpl4itug60_57.jpg) -- Last edit: 2014-08-28 07:44:25 |

 Only Oldsmobile1897 will know why he asked the question.... ... but at least it triggered my thought process about the early Terrier models the dates and Pilot vs G-series cabs. On the subject of indicator styles, The Australian Leyland Terrier G-series in the TV Series 'Prisoner' appears to be slightly different to UK versions which appears from introduction in 1972. Its higher but still combined side/turn so could be that the Leyland export are different for local markets or locally assembled? /vehicle_671323-Leyland-Terrier-1973.html |

That Prisoner Terrier G was Aus assembly - I just added the info. Book info says Aus G were Leyland Terrier, Boxer and Mastiff and seem to consistently have higher side/turn position in photos. Quoted date range is 68-74, but seems too early start?? Pilot cab seems to have been made in Aus as Leyland Laird FJM 68-74 in 4.0 to 7.0 ton - unclear if other versions eg Terrier etc. Plus there was Austin then BMC FJ 1964-68 in 4.60 to 7.60 versions, including BMC Mastiff. I've no idea how these match to UK, so can't pursue any comparison. And there was a big parallel range of various bonneted Austin N WF trucks 1.5-5.0 tons 1964-74 .... |

I asked the question because I wasn't too sure  . I still have a lot to learn about English trucks. -- Last edit: 2014-08-20 02:42:22 |

Me too. I'm a blank sheet of paper with one Big Book. So I have no idea if what I'm spouting is sensible. |

Add me to the list also, as knowing little but wanting to know a lot more. ... and I know Oldmobile1897 really intended to say British trucks, because the Scottish manufacturers were equally as important as the English makes. |

I think Albion were about the only really important Scots truck firm. Beardmore, (as truck manufacturers) Halley and Caledon all faded away by the 30s, and Leyland acquired Albion in 1951. -- Last edit: 2014-08-20 16:08:27 |
