Society Publications
For 20 years The Leyland Society published the
quarterly Leyland Torque and annual Leyland Journal,
both of which carry forward the names of Leyland
Motors publications distributed to customers and
back issues of most are available to buy through the
Leyland Society online shop.
From Autumn 2018 we have increased the size of
Leyland Torque from A5 to A4 to allow us to include
many of the highly detailed and lavishly illustrated
items previously included in the Leyland Journal
which this new format replaces. Typically the new
format Leyland Torque includes 40 pages (the
previous A5 layout fits into 24 of the larger A4
pages) and provides much more flexibility to include
all the regular features members expect with a
greater assortment of more detailed articles some of
which are in colour where appropriate.
Leyland Torque continues to be a high quality
publication, printed on glossy paper and with
digitally restored photographs from the extensive
BCVM Archive as well as from other sources such as
members' own collections. All members receive
Leyland Torque as part of their membership. Back
issues are available to non-members to purchase :

The Leyland Society also publishes books on the
subject of Leyland, again available to the general
public. More details of publications are given
below, or you can use the links below to go directly
