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.
0What i was trying to put across Graham is they had an answer to the B10 Volvo before it was introduced here obviously with hindsight because they built the Sabre so they must at the time have been thinking in the right area so a high powered coach was in their heads. The Tiger came 8 years too late maybe ?
By that time the decision had already been taken long before for a planned run down and handover to the foreign competition.They obviously weren’t going to do anything to contradict that.Similar MO to the Leyand DAF truck division handover.
