CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2008-06-14 20:33	Leyland Titan you mean?
chris40 ◊ 2008-06-14 20:37	Probably, but which Titan I don't know. Best wait for an expert

If we are agreed that one of the buses from the link above is shown in the picture under consideration, then the description should be "Leyland Titan OPD2/MCW Orion". -- Last edit: 2008-06-15 11:32:38
