An interesting beasts - note that the Leopard is fitted with BMAC rear light units instead of the normal Plaxton 'coffins'. Apparently these were specified on most NBC Plaxton Supreme bodies from 1978 onwards; the similarly-bodied Seddons for Eastern Scottish also had BMAC rear lights, apart from the first 12 which had the rear 'coffins' as they were to touring coach spec.
Yeah, it was registered in 1979 and it's got a manual transmission. There's no clutch but the gearbox is still there. I don't know who owns it or what it's future is. Alternator turns and there's oil in it so in all likelihood it will run but not drive.
I will find out who owns it and see if they will let me do a video of it. I hate going in it as there's bird poop allover the cabin.
The engine must be in great shape since it didn't fill the shead with smoke after a cold start.
