Can anyone help Bjørn Kjer with information on the BRM Marshall body Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster transporter.

He is looking to find the length , width , height and wheelbase.

 

 

Thanks in for any help.

Here's a link to a Leyland brochure for the '59 modelyear Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster chassis.

The chassis used for the BRM transporter was the LRT 3.1 with a 150 bhp engine.

 

Hope this can provide as a start for further research.

Thanks Myhinpaa

The specification section in the .pdf had some info on the LRT 3.1. 

A great help 

Rob

Was this later repainted in Yardley-BRM colours?

What about Marlboro-BRM?

The same transporter was later given Yardley and Marlboro liveries.

 

Yardley:

Difficult to find photos of the old transporter once they had the new one in use, the '72 Leyland Leopard based one. ('73 Anderstorp)

 

Here's a good model of WVE 63 in Marlnoro livery: https://cdn10.bigcom...80.1280.jpg?c=2

 

Here's a photo from '79 where it sits neglected in a yard with remains of the Marlboro livery: https://ccmv.aecsout...6a962#hdff6a962

Thank you to Rob and other contributors. It did help me a bit , but not fully (so far that is).  Regards Bjørn

Somewhere in the dark corners of my memory I seem to remember a full article in one of the classic car magazines on the BRM Leyland complete with detailed profile drawing showing the internal ramps and the way the cars were loaded. I think we have had it here at some time, but I cannot find it.  I probably have the article in my boxes of archived articles so I will have a look.

Trying to find it would be highly appreciated.
