I remember these things. In the early 90s, on a specific route past a hospital, there was a dip and bump in the road. If you were on one of these , sitting at the back, and the driver was giving it the beans, you'd get air time when the back axle when over the dip and bump. Great times!
I wish some Leopards received 2 speed ZF boxes. The 11 litre Leyland engine sounds joyous with a torque converter automatic. Denmark had buses so equipped as did Brisbane Australia. Sydney experimented with a Leopard fitted with a Voith.
Western Scottish had these, when I was growing up. Thank you for a trip down memory lane.
Glad you enjoyed it
Spent many a shift in Western/Clydesides examples of these. My all time favourite bus.

When I was in primary school they were used for long journeys (Glasgow to Uig, etc).
I love these old Alexander Y Type buses. Inspired by the GMC Fishbowl buses from the US.
Lovely!!!
