As with many of the leading bus & coach manufacturers in Britain Leyland built a wide range of vehicles. Some of the types
- such as the PD2 the PD3 & the Atlantean
- were built in large numbers but others were built in much smaller quantities. Whilst the former may well have been featured in books specifically dealing with that model many of the less-well known types have been less well covered. In the post-war era for example Leyland manufactured such models as the Victory Mark 2 exclusively exported to Hong Kong) & the Leyl&-DAB articulated bus (under the auspices of its Danish DAB subsidiary) as well as numerous single-deck bus & coach models such as the Royal Tiger the Tiger Cub the Leopard the Lion & the Panther before the much more prosaically named National. This book is an 80pp colour album examining Leylands bus & coach production between the mid-1950s & the demise of the name in the 1980s. The 1000-word introduction examines the history of Leyland & its products over those years whilst the c 85 colour illustrations explore the variety of both double- & single-deck models
- familiar & less familiar
- constructed by the company.
