Thought you'd like this one mate. I can remember racing one of these against another back to the garage when my shift finished. Leyland had just installed a brand new engine in it and boy could it fly.. none of this barely 40mph crap that all the others were governed back to...

Happy Days indeed

I would love to drive a bus also a HGV just to see how difficult they are to drive (but it would have to be on the road NOT a test circuit)

I can remember just how these sound too.

We had loads of these in my home town when I was a kid.
Nice purring diesel sound.Unmistakeable.

Poke claying it though!! And you'd have to be pretty wired to machine polish it.The roof would be much fun though.Theres something about bus surfing
