Yes that's the one - there are actually two of the DEL boys as Ken called them - and he sold them both to the factory. I think they are both used on the LR experience at Solihull. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Reviving an old (and sad) thread, does anyone know what has become of Ken's 1949 Leyland Beaver EFE55 now?

It was advertised for sale in 2019 but I have no idea if it sold or not, and whether it is still in Germany or has moved on. I always felt it was a shame that a British collection (ideally such as Dunsfold) couldn't have acquired it. Mind you the advertised price in 2019 was probably five to ten times the real value of a classic HGV of that age, so it is quite possible it didn't sell.

Landypoint are still featuring it as part of their museum project in Obere Donau - so probably not moved on. 2011MY 130 HCPU: daily driver
1979MY RRC 2-door: on the drive, in the garage & in a shed - all at the same time.

Thank you, that would be understandable. £200k is an extraordinarily high price for a Beaver, even an iconic one.

I am glad it is safe and extant still. Thumbs Up
