vilero ◊ 2010-11-18 13:35	Yeah. Ex London, for sure
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-11-18 13:36	We've got British-made double deckers in other old Spanish films. It seems they were standard Madrid buses in the fifties. Example: /vehicle_179095-Leyland-Titan-TD7.html -- Last edit: 2010-11-18 13:39:37
vilero ◊ 2010-11-18 14:07	AFAIK, it seems Madrid got some Leyland, as Gag Halfrunt said above, and some Guy Arab. But this looks a Leyland See bottom of this page Link to "www.camionesclasicos.com"
dsl ◊ 2010-11-18 14:13	Interesting - passenger platform on both looks to be correct side for LHD pavements. Presume therefore that Madrid deliberately chose RHD buses with LHD bodies, not ex-London cast-offs. Still British manufacture??
SteveA ◊ 2010-11-18 14:38	It's a Leyland Titan, but the body's not ex London.
