Leyland Leopard Bus
What is your favourite bus of all time?
Leyland demonstrated its medium weight Leopard chassis for the first time at the Scottish Motor Show in 1959. There were two versions on offer, the L1 and L2, both using the 0.600 horizontal engine, four-speed synchromesh gearbox, optional two-speed rear axle, and air-brakes on all four wheels. Both models had an overall length of 30ft and a width of 8ft, but the L1 type had a straight rear extension designed for bus work, while the L2's dropped extension made it more suitable for coaches. Sheffield Corporation were among the first purchasers of Leopards.
