You’re being a tad unfair here Ramone. The (new) Leyland Tiger coach was introduced in 1981 to replace the Leopard and Reliance and it remained in production to 1992. It offered a range of engine options, mid-chassis under floor mounted. Leyland TL11, Gardner 6HLXCT, and from 1987 ■■■■■■■ L10. Transmissions options were Leyland Hydrocyclic, Voith, and ZF. Volvo bought Leyland Bus in 1988 and used its THD100 engine, replacing the TL11 and Gardner options.

Which effectively just meant the foreign competition buying the domestic manufacturers’ order books,they didn’t want the domestic production capacity and then replacing the domestic products with their own.While the government allowed ( invited ) them to do it.
