From tiny acorns, mighty oaks do grow, and this is certainly true
when it comes to the story of Leyland Motors. From humble
beginnings building steam lawnmowers in the Lancashire town of
Leyland, the company grew to become one of the largest vehicle
manufacturers in the world. With groundbreaking ideas such as
designing buses and coaches with bespoke chassis rather than
converted lorry chassis, Leyland vehicles were sold all over the
world. Through acquisition and merger, the majority of British
vehicle manufacturers ended up under the Leyland banner, resulting
in the creation of the mighty British Leyland Motor Corporation,
whose subsequent fall from grace has been widely documented
elsewhere. This, the first in a series of books showcasing the
products of the passenger division of Leyland since 1960,
concentrates on single-deck coaches and includes such wellknown
'big cats' as the Leopard, Tiger and Royal Tiger among others. It
contains 180 photographs, most of which are in colour, all with
informative text and captured when the vehicles were in their
operating heyday.
