About this machine
This 1963 Leyland Octopus is a flatbed truck — sometimes referred to as a platform truck — designed to carry large, heavy, or awkwardly dimensioned loads on an open flat load bed, making it a versatile workhorse for haulage, construction, and general freight. Leyland is a historic British commercial vehicle manufacturer with a long heritage in producing heavy-duty trucks and buses, and the Octopus name is one of its most recognised heavy haulage models.
This example is powered by a 680 Power Plus engine in an 8x4 configuration, meaning it runs on eight wheels with four driven axles, providing the traction and load-bearing capacity associated with serious heavy haulage work. The drivetrain is supported by Leyland heavy-duty axles throughout. The load platform measures 24 feet in length and is constructed from a combination of alloy and wood, a traditional and practical specification that keeps unladen weight down while offering a durable and workable surface.
The truck has undergone a full nut-and-bolt restoration, representing a significant investment of time and skill to return the vehicle to a thorough mechanical and structural standard. The seller notes it has been kept in a shed and has not been used frequently, which is consistent with a privately maintained collection piece rather than a working vehicle. It is offered as part of a collection, and the seller is looking for a buyer who will care for it appropriately. The truck is located in the United Kingdom and is offered at $50,000.
