This is a Roe bodied Leyland Atlantean formerly with Leeds City Transport. The bus passed on to WYPTE Metro, a consortium of transport operators in West Yorkshire, but remained in Leeds. It is one of a batch of Roe 'panoramic' Atlanteans, specially commissioned by LCT. I note some of the windows on the vehicle have been altered (made smaller). To me you have totally ruined what could be a great example of British transport in the 1970's.
So dude, where are you at now with the bus? Very interested!

To my knowledge non of the windows have had any alteration. the state it was in can be seen in the video "BUYING A DOUBLE DECKER BUS"
It saddened me to see the disrespect shown to a bus that had traveled so far.
had i not have bought it there would have been more damage.
It is still under repair and restoration.
Your info has been truly welcome.
The bus can be seen in google maps streetview at 15 Holland street StPeters New South Wales for a better view

Yure one crazy dude. I like the bus. Good colour to. It must've taken a while to do with a spray can!
