Leyland Octopus.
The Leyland Octopus was an 'eight legger' which is how it gained this model name. The stunning example shown here is a restored petrol tanker in the colours of Esso Petroleum Company Ltd.

Picture showing a classic Leyland, one of 135 images in this set.
- The Octopus, built by Leyland.
- First built/registered in the 1950s.
- Finished in: Red.
Several thousand photos feature in the various galleries here at oldclassiccar. If you're interested in Leylands, whether just the Octopus shown here, or other models in addition to Octopus, then it is worth looking at the other photos in this set of 135 motoring images, and also on the main photos page where details of all the image collections are held.
Most of the photographs in this set were taken during 2007, either at shows, road runs or in museums. A small number were also sent over to me by visitors to this site, for which I'm very grateful. If you have a photograph that you've taken, showing a vehicle that doesn't yet feature on this site, it'd be great to see it. If you own an example of Leyland Octopus and would like to see it featured in the Your Cars elsewhere on the site, then by all means get in touch too!
