LEILAND

The British Leyland van, also known as the 'Lion's Head' because of its lion-like front end, was a common sight on the streets of Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s, and was a collective memory of Hong Kong's logistics industry as it crisscrossed the city's large and small factory districts. The design of the Leyland van is old-fashioned, with wooden seats in the driver's seat and rear passenger seat, no steering wheel, no air-conditioning, and a very simple instrument panel with only three indicators for speed, water temperature and voltage. When the truck is in motion, the engine cover can reach 50 to 60 degrees and the throttle and brakes are all heavy, making it difficult to drive.
