Compare /vehicle_562935-Leyland-Tiger-Cub-1954.html - same operator but a different vehicle. Body by Bellhouse Hartwell and a Leyland Tiger Cub or Royal Tiger, but I've not found a photograph with that type of windscreen yet. |

Maybe it's in the abandoned ghost bus tunnel in Liège http://www.bertbeckers.be/en/ghost-bus-tunnel-blog-en/ |

There is a photograph and description of one of these vehicles on page 88 of "Twelve Royal Tigers: The Complete Story of the Coachbuilders Beccols and Bellhouse Hartwell". It is one of eight Leyland Royal Tigers new in 1954 to Blue Cars' continental operation with bodywork by Ruysschaert Philippart of Belgium to a custom design closely resembling the Bellhouse Hartwell bodies on Blue Cars' UK vehicles. |
