An LAD cab Comet with a very tidy load of wool bales belonging to Reid's Transport Service of Luggate in Central Otago. In the mid-1960s Reids bought the Wanaka based carriers, McLeod's Transport and merged it with their own business to form Upper Clutha Transport. Reids had been loyal Leyland users since the Cubs of the 1930s. The LAD range of Comets comprising the CS3 model Comet-(8 stud wheels, hydraulic brakes) and 14SC model Super Comet-(10 stud wheels, full air brakes) debuted in 1958-59 replacing the square cab ECO.S2 cabover and ECO.2 semi forward control Comets. From 1962-63 the CS3 model was superceded by the 12C and 13C model Comets-still on 8 stud wheels but now having full air brakes.
