6 too many. Aren't those rebadged GLA's?

@Cé-hé-sin That LDV is a weird one. The long nose is just confusing.

The Leyland 'Sherpa' is a Leyland Convoy.
((Though interestingly it was sold as the Sherpa under the Freight Rover badge in the 1980s. Freight Rover later changes becoming part of Leyland Trucks Division in BL))
Hated those things, at anything over 40mph the engine sounded so load you couldn't talk, acceleration was measured in minutes and if it rained, there was no sound deadening on the fibreglass dome up front on the vans and you may as well get used to feeling like you were sat under a tin roof during a storm as no way could you hold a conversation or listen to the radio.
My aunt and uncle used to buy ex-demonstrators and have them converted to campers by 'Gainsborough', and would often drive them to and around France on holidays.
The smaller Sherpa had more pep and last one I was in was a green fleet van being kicked out the back door on a midnight exercise. Fun times. -
Yes, I did think it seemed to have changed a bit since the Leyland days....

@Cé-hé-sin about 4 more than they sold here. before disappearing up their own orifices.
