Graham, how come the Mandator is badged as a Leyland ? I know its a left hand drive but AEC had a foot hold in Europe.0
Hello Dean, it was probably being exported to Israel. AEC had supplied some of the Arab states with large orders of buses; Leyland was strong in Israel, so it would have been badged as a Leyland for political reasons. I’ll have a look at the chassis build details and see if I can pin it down. One or two other export markets also had AEC’s badged as Leyland.
It looks like an early V8 , didn’t some NZ and Australian AECs have Leyland badges?
