In 1957 Vanwall team received a special transporter based on a Leyland Worldmaster chassis. In the same year Vanwall became the first British manufacturer ever to win the British Grand Prix, at Aintree in 1957 with drivers Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks. Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster was a mid-underfloor-engined single-decker bus or single-decker coach chassis manufactured by Leyland between 1954 and 1979. In the February 1959 issue of ‘Motor Racing’ magazine, Vanwall team mechanic Derek Wootton wrote: “…The Vanwall Organisation has two of the most versatile transporters in the racing world. One is a Leyland Royal Tiger chassis with a special body, the approximate price being in the region of $4,300, less the interior workshop fittings … Ferrari and Maserati carry their cars in open-type Fiat transporters which, although good, expose them to extra dust and rain…the cars must suffer on occasion. Our vans carry two cars each – it is not our policy to put all our eggs in one basket. Our transporters are large, because we carry a very extensive range of spares and equipment. The Leyland, when loaded, weighs about 11 tons and measures 30 feet by 8 feet”. The handbuilt scale model was produced by St. Petersburg Tram Collection in Russia.
