In 1952 a cab over version of the Comet became available.
This was sold next to the bonneted model until 1955/56, depending on the market.
As for the bonneted version, power from the Leyland O.350 engine went from 90 to 100 hp (67 to 75 kW) in 1955.
This model continued in production until 1958, although Australian models continued to use this cab into the early 1960s.
This model also entered production in India after having received government approval in 1951.
Ashok Motors, Ashok Leyland after 1954, manufactured it locally.
The original front clip design remained in use into the early 1970s.
Ashok Leyland proceeded to develop a simplified local cab design and continued to build the Comet into the 1990s.
