Membership
Membership of the Leyland Society brings with it the
benefits of a much more detailed insight into the
activities of Leyland Motors Ltd through our NEW A4
format glossy quarterly publication 'Leyland Torque'
as well as access to a wealth of detailed Leyland
knowledge collected over many years by the society
and its members. Since its formation in 1998, more
than 1000 people have joined.
The Leyland Society brings together expertise and
information on all matters Leyland to share with
those with an interest in this fascinating
manufacturer. It encourages research into the
history and products of Leyland Motors, largely
prompted by questions raised in Leyland Torque. It
is not necessary to be a Leyland owner to become a
member.
