A rear engined TL12 would have been interesting.
I believe that Leyland Bus did develop a rear engined TL11 bus:
This unregistered single deck bus was a development vehicle for a Rear Engined Tiger (RET11). It carried an ECW experimental dual door body.
I think that the project was abandoned and the bus passed to the Leyland Motors Football Team for use on their away trips. It was usually
kept at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland and was eventually registered Q723CHG.
Somewhere along the way, it gained a Leyland badge and lost its central door and tropical windows.
It subsequently passed to OK Motor Services Ltd, (seen here at a Rally in Leyland) and is now preserved.
