Manufacturer description

The Leyland Royal Tiger was manufactured between 1950-1954 as an underfloor engined heavyweight single deck bus or coach chassis. It was used by many of the major bus companies including Southdown, Barton Transport and Wallace Arnold. Our fourth release sees the Leyland bodied model in another well-known livery from the South East - Maidstone and District Motor Services Ltd, whose Mid Brunswick Green and cream colour scheme is offset by elaborate gold lettering, the same green coachlines along the side and lots of gleaming chrome work. The interior is also moulded in dark green and the chassis is black. The distinctive and colourful open-mouthed Tiger badge is printed on the front with Leyland printed above it and on each of the wings reads Royal (offside) and Tiger (nearside).

Our model is en route from its Knightrider Street Depot as the E4 to London and is registered OKO 22. Its speed limit is also registered on the side of the coach as 30 mph.
