at the Scottish Motor Show in November but, contrary to some press reports, it will not be based on the modified 6x4 Constructor City produced by Chorley-based Leyland distributor Gilbraith.
It is expected that the lightweight 8 x 4 Constructor will have a new frame, along with revised axles, suspension and steering geometry. It will be powered by the current 194kW (260hp) TLI IC engine coupled to a Spicer ten-speed gearbox, will use the narrower Constructor Six cab, and is likely to have an unladen weight comfortably below eight tonnes. The 20.28 will be the first four axle rigid chassis produced at the Leyland assembly hall since the announcement of the planned closure of the Scammell Watford plant as part of the Leyland Oaf merger.
