The Leyland Retriever was a 6x4 truck produced by Leyland Motors for the British Army between 1939 and 1945. It had a six-litre, four-cylinder overhead-camshaft petrol engine. General Montgomery used one as his caravan during the Second World War, and that vehicle is now on display at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. In 1940 Leyland developed the Beaver-Eel armoured truck by mounting an armoured body on the Retriever chassis, for the defence of airfields.
