Love the sound of the engine!!
I agree; it’s a particularly pleasing one, that. It’s moved in now, but still about.
@@richardwalker_ moved in ?
@@BTTT-c9q *on !
It always puzzles me that on most bus vlogs the centre badge on the steering wheel always seems to be missing.
They’re not held in by much, so people tend to take them as souvenirs. Not being there means they can’t be taken….
What a fine sounding Leopard!
You can’t beat a good one in full voice.
Very nice, i restore the gear shifters off them..
Ah, nice, that’s a fairly niche market; have you ever tackled any of them with the split switch?
@@richardwalker_ definitely,, I have, a 5 speed one, but it was taken off before I got it to restore . the switch was kept on the bus , as the guy was waiting for me to send a reconditioned one to him so he just reconnected the switch to the gear shifter and off he went happy as could be..
I’ve had the later electric sort (right hand change) apart, and the earlier (column mounted) ones apart. The right hand change are extremely greasy inside, but a work of art.
@@richardwalker_ very nice!! I had a chance to get a couple of the electric types but didn't get around to them , as I just specialise in the pneumatic selectors . They can be very messy and very seized. Most definitely a work of art, especially making parts for them. Just before they got rid of all of the Leyland buses here we had a few of the electric/pneumo shifts getting around, but much prefer the direct are system. Sad they are gone, , such a fantastic bus/s
Hello
👋🏻
It puzzed me why they called it a Leppard when its a bus!
Leyland naming convention. All named after animals.
The Leopard chassis was available in different lengths and different power/speed ratings for different applications - both bus and coach.
…and this one is certainly a coach!
