Info
At the end of 1972, the Leyland model designations were updated: the 253 became 245, the 344 became 255, and the 384 became 270. The last digits indicated the engine power. The updated engines of the 255 and 270 featured, among other things, larger valves and thicker cylinder liner walls. In Finland, the 3- and 4-cylinder models were still equipped with a Junkkari cab instead of the original Q cab. The 245 received the Q cab in 1976.
At the same time, the lineup was supplemented with 6-cylinder models 285 and 2100 (see 262-4100).

The data has been collected primarily from brochures. In some cases, sources contain conflicting information. In such cases, we have attempted to select the most reliable information.
There is particularly significant variation in speed data, which varies depending on factors such as tire size. For tires, only the size most commonly used in Finland is listed.
Other changes during the model history have been addressed in the text section. For the front axle lock, the Finnish term "hammaslukko" (gear lock) is used for all 100% locks.
