    @@ghalibmahmudlaskar5980 At the timing 07:46 of this video, he did say it is a Leyland 375 engine. However, that was back in the 1983. As what engine is in this vehicle today, I will need to double check again...

    After double checking, the WCG 104 has the Leyland 375 engine since the 1980s (as in the video mentioned, coming from WLO 692) and a Leyland gear box since the 1990s. Hope this answered your question.
