Roadtrain’s attractive curvaceous ‘C40’ cab was very much a tri-partite effort, having originally been designed by Leyland engineer Bill Lowe, with Ogle Design of Letchworth doing all the major exterior and interior styling work while Motor Panels actually built it. The C40 cab was intended as a modular design capable of fitting tractors, multiwheelers and middleweights down to 16-tonnes, although in the end the only common panel between all three turned out to be the doors. It’s interesting to note that Leyland chose to adopt a distinctly ‘non-aggressive’ cab at the time, when both Scania and Volvo tractors featured more-boxy, angular designs.
