this is as far as we know the only leyland royal tiger still running on the road in the uk today with a road master body.
built in 1950 put on the road in 1951 this old lady has been given a new lease of life and a thourgh face lift by krwaslh-classics.com of manchester kenny and ray have a reputation for getting the job done fast .
this old girl will be going to Llandudno under its own steam to the truck festival in may . as well as the VOLVO N86 AND THE X BARTONS COACH /RECOVERY TRUCK LOL.
you can see all renovation work on these vehicles at krwalsh-classics.com
regards ian. gnasherianuk on youtube for all the videos of the trucks.
His clicky wotsit worked for me for a couple of seconds… then my anti virus shut the puter down … maybe better if it don’t work…getting a lot of them lately.
just incase there are any worries i have full permission to show all photos i place on truck net regarding krwalsh brothers as i am a crew member of kr walsh and i also work with ken walsh full time .
Hi chaps wasnt there a firm from Lytham St Anns that made kitchen units that had Leyland tiger cub pantechnicons ? They may have operated Royal tigers as well ? regards keith
hi keith and thanks for the info re tiger kitchens .
i will trawl the history of that question i am not sure, what makes this old girl rare is the road master body she had a twin sister loe900 with the same body but that got scrapped i supost this one would have but we saved it .

Eastham Kitchens - later Burco Eastham, I think. Yes, they had Tiger Cubs (the lightweight chassis with the smaller engine) but not, I think, Royal Tigers.
