Details: Here is Leyland Freighter 2435L again, this time entering Acton Works in 1993. The lorry had by then been repainted into the white/blue livery, but what is slightly interesting is that the dropside body had originally been repainted black (see Colin's photo from February 1991). The strip under the windscreen was black on new Leyland T45s, it being designed by Ogle to give the impression that the windscreen was deeper than it actually was. Having said that, the panel was also used for the large Leyland lettering. On 2435L this had been repainted (or replaced) plain white, as also happened to 2372L and 2395L when they were repainted. Curiously, later 2464L managed to retain the black strip. 2435L remained in service until 1999 when it was sold and exported.
