Maybe Tilling-Stevens attempted to break into the Australian double decker market. I don’t recall BMMO sending any chassis, nor did Foden’s afaik. Or, was it a mock-up on a Bedford Rascal? The whole thing looks a bit ersatz to me. -- Last edit: 2024-03-19 09:01:15

I will ask some contacts in the area and see if they know anything more about it. It has been identified as a former Sydney Leyland Titan OPD1 new in 1947.
