The Birmingham based Independent Smiths Imperial Coaches christened this Leyland Tiger delivered in about 1982 Imperial Pullman. I guess it was pride of the fleet and it is still cherished by it's current operator also an enthusiast, Coastal Coaches of Wolverhampton who put down as the key to it's long life the superior corrosion free Jonckheere Jubilee body.

Smiths Imperial Coaches
The Birmingham based Independent Smiths Imperial Coaches christened this Leyland Tiger delivered in about 1982 Imperial Pullman. I guess it was pride of the fleet and it is still cherished by it's current operator also an enthusiast, Coastal Coaches of Wolverhampton who put down as the key to it's long life the superior corrosion free Jonckheere Jubilee body.
Nice to see an unusual combination: Leyland and the Jonckheere Jubilee P50. In the Benelux Jonckheere built these usually on DAF and Volvo.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree as usually it was Plaxton or Duple for the Tiger coach and not even Van Hool was a common combination.
