The Leyland N Making its first appearance in 1919, the N model was of very similar design to the famous RAF type, being suitable for either passenger or goods type bodywork. Being of normal control layout.

A choice of Leyland 4-cylinder petrol engines was offered in the form of 32hp, 36hp or 40hp units. Transmission is via a cone clutch and 4-speed
gate change gearbox to an overhead worm rear axle.

Braking is by means of a handbrake operating internally on the rear drums and a foot brake which works externally, contracting on to a drum on the transmission.

Production of the N range ceased in 1921.
