Leyland Titan PD1 East Yorkshire Bus 1950s

Leyland Titan PD1

What is your favourite car of all time?

Leyland's first double-deck bus chassis after the war was known as the Titan, a PD1 chassis with few similarities to the pre-war models which bore its name (such as the TD4). Proving popular with a variety of operators, the PD1 used a 7.4-litre engine and was fitted with triple servo brakes and a fully floating rear axle. Bodywork came from either Leyland itself or outside concerns such as Eastern Coachworks. Operator East Yorkshire was famous for its distinctive Beverley Bar shaped-roof double-deckers, constructed to allow normal height buses to pass through the gothic archways at Beverley.
